The Lisbon Avenue Neighborhood Development Corporation (LAND) was a nonprofit organization founded in 1988 to address neighborhood problems around 35th Street and Lisbon Avenue. LAND's services included economic and community development through the rental of commercial property, home repair programs, and community organizing. LAND partnered with organizations, institutions, and businesses in the area to improve the neighborhood. LAND's community organizing included working with residents to host neighborhood clean-ups, beautification projects, community meetings to address residents' issues and concerns, and community events to provide education and resources. The organization ceased operations in 2014.

Most of the physical and electronic records are progress reports on property improvement and community organizing programs dating from 2004 to 2013. The collection also contains grants from the Community Development Grants Administration and the Community Block Grant Administration. The grants covered most of the costs for home and neighborhood rehabiliation projects in the Lisbon Avenue area. Records of partnerships with Homesource, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), Washington Park Partners, and the West North Avenue Advancement Association (WNAAA) are also included. Additional records include LANDFARE, an annual community festival from 1997 to 2012, which offered activities for children and education and health resource information for residents and visitors, as well as block club and community engagement on Twenty-eighth Street, Thirty-seventh Street, and West Spaulding Place. Also included are materials on the Walls Project, a community memorial initiated by LAND which honors crime victions, and individuals and organizations that have served the community, as well as photographs of properties on Galena Street, Lisbon Avenue, and Vliet Street.

The collection is organized into two series:

1. Subject Files, 1994-2015
2. Photographs and Digital Images, 2004-2013

The files are organized alphabetically by subject, then chronologically.
