Cemetery Destruction

How about doing somethig for those of us who support the organization but who live too far away to attent the functions listed in your offerings.

I, personally, would like to see a list of cemetaries and the names of those buried in them.Just a thought.

Hi - Apologies for not responding sooner. Many of the cemeteries are separate organizations that maintain their own records, so we do not have access to the lists of who is buried where.  It's always good to check with the cemetery to see if they have records that they can share. Our current priority is to work with our existing collection and increase access to our library and museum materials both onsite and online. We do actively collect, so we are always interested in hearing about prospective gifts of materials (cemetery records and many other kinds). We hope to make more of our materials accessible onsite and online in the coming years.  As I'm sure you can understand, we have limited resources in terms of staff and money, so it does take time as we balance that project with having regular open hours for our museum, library and historic houses. Thanks for checking out our online exhibitions!
