About the Author

Matt van der Velde has always had a passion

for documenting places hidden from

society. He understands the historic and

architectural value in America’s abandoned

State Hospital and Psychiatric facilities.

Partner that with an insatiable interest in

history and you have the inspiration behind

“Abandoned Asylums”, which seeks to provide

a visual record and last will and testament

of these incredible institutions before

they disappear forever.
