The Lisa Uddin Papers consists of the research materials for Zoo Renewal: White Flight and the Animal Ghetto, a design history of zoological parks in the United States.

The collection includes visitor guides and maps, brochures, postcards, souvenir books and videos, print and radio advertisements, magazine and newspaper clippings, wildlife conservation documentaries, annual reports, institutional correspondence and management records, architectural drawings, and photographs.
