Cemeteries are among the most valuable of historic resources. They can serve as reminders of various settlement patterns, or they can reveal information about historic events, religions, lifestyles, and most importantly, our genealogy. Unfortunately, these cemeteries do not necessarily remain permanent reminders of our ancestors and past since they are subject to long-term deterioration, neglect, development activities and construction projects, and even vandalism and theft.
Volunteers in the Cemeterist Project are helping to preserve the world's cemeteries. Volunteers are currently needed for photography or indexing. You can help in any way that suits you! Will you join us?

I would like to join. My husband Craig and I both like to explore cemeteries around Oregon and take photos. We have a guide, Oregon Burial Site Guide, a complete guide to Oregon Cemeteries, even listing the other names for each cemetery it describes. I think I write decent profiles and love to look for new sources.
