Preservation of Gravestones
After taking a Genealogy and Local History class, I become interested in working with local historical societies. One of the main topics that always seemed to come up from older patrons, was a question about how to preserve the family gravestones. I didn't know the answer to that question, so I began to search for answers to that question.
Then, I discovered The Association for Gravestone studies:
http://www.gravestonestudies.org/
I went to one of their annual conferences, which they call affectionately "cemetery camp", and learned an astonishing amount of information.
Later, when I took a preservation of materials class, I decided to think "out of the box" and put together this PPT about gravestone preservation. I decided to approach the subject with a light, but serious approach.
