PLANNED COMMUNITIES ARCHIVES

I can provide a little more information on the Planned Community/Reston
Archives. The physical archives are located in the George Mason University
Fenwick Library in Fairfax, Virginia. The archives are kept by the
University  librarians and sponsored by the Planned Community Archives,
Inc. Because I am working on a dissertation involving Reston, I have spent
some time in the archives. Apparently they are fairly complete up until the
early 1980s. There is more recent material that had not yet been organized
and added to the database. There is also an updated web site:
