In 2023, nearly forty-five years worth of design work from Pamela Burton & Company was archived in the Special Collections Library at UCLA's Charles E. Young Research Library.

The archival collection contains both physical and digital material that reveal Pamela Burton & Company’s design processes and procedures, project documentation, and firm recognition.

The digital portion of the collection is a digitized copy of some of the physical media mentioned above. The digital material includes scans of sketches, diagrams, drawings, construction documents, surveys, and maps.  The significant details of most projects have been scanned into the computer as digital files.

The display of the wide assortment of material in these archives changed throughout the years along with the evolution of landscape architecture design practice, methodology, and technology.  In particular, from the 1970s to the early 2000s, the collection exemplifies the crucial shift of design work produced by hand into the display of work through computer-aided design.  Pamela Burton & Company continues to create comprehensive landscape architecture design styles for both private and public spaces around the world.

The physical part of the collection includes project rolls of drawings and construction documents; project booklets of presentations and site imagery; project binders of proposals and contracts; slide films of project photography and Pamela Burton’s academic research; publications of books and articles about the firm and Pamela Burton; Pamela Burton’s project composition notebooks; three-dimensional scale models; and Pamela Burton’s personal journals.  This collection of hand-drawn and printed material presents all aspects of the firm’s projects, from preliminary concepts, revisions, and sketches, to final completion.  The work produced over more than four decades displays Pamela Burton’s design philosophy and passion, as well as that of all of the team members collectively.
