Established 2-28-2009:
The mission of this project is to capture digital images of gravestones, however we are not a grave registration site. As decades pass -- many stones are becoming harder, if not impossible, to read the inscriptions they originally contained. By archiving the images of both old and new stones, we can help document these important records and also assist researchers using this valuable resource.

Using someones photo with citation is not a substitution for needing permission.

We are currently seeking volunteers to help take and upload photos for many areas. If you have an interest in volunteering for this rewarding part-time activity, see our frequently asked questions and volunteer information articles.
