Cemeteries are a common feature of our environment, yet often seem to be out of place amongst our modern landscapes. These historic cemeteries tell the tale of communities’ past and are visible representations of how communities grow and change. The continued protection and preservation of these resources is critical and often involves working directly with community members to document and preserve these sites. This webinar will provide an overview of basic laws and regulations concerning historic cemeteries, offer suggestions for how to record and document the resources, and discuss steps you can take for the proactive preservation of your local cemeteries.
This is offered as part of the National Alliance for Planning Commission’s webinar series. It is free for NAPC members and open to the general public for $15. 1.5 AIA/AICP continuing education credits available to participants.
