Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Graveyard Preservation Primer has proven itself to be a time-tested resource for those who are seeking information regarding the protection and preservation of historic graveyards. It was first written to help stewards of early burial grounds responsibly and effectively preserve their graveyards. Much information found in the first edition of the book remains valid today. Still, much has changed in the twenty-five years since its first publication, and the new edition reflects these changes. Attitudes and the understanding of historic graveyards as an important cultural resource have grown and developed over the years. Likewise, changes in treatments have also taken place. Perhaps the most dramatic change in burial ground preservation is in the world of technology. Changes in computers and the way we use them have also changed preservation practices in historic graveyards. Discussion of technological changes in the new edition includes those in mapping, surveying, photography, archaeology, and other areas of evaluation and planning. Consideration is given, too, to maintenance and conservation treatments, including both traditional and newer treatments for stone, concrete, and metals. Metals were not discussed in the earlier editions, and protection and preservation of the landscape as it relates to graveyards is an expanded focus of this book. The historic preservation of cemeteries and burial grounds is an aspect within the discipline of historic preservation that is unknown to many. Those whose responsibility is the care of these historic sites may be unfamiliar with appropriate approaches to such areas as documentation, planning, maintenance, and conservation. Unwitting personnel can do irreparable harm to these important cultural resources. The Primer is an effort to protect historic cultural resources by breaching the gap between maintenance staff, cemetery boards, friends’ groups, and graveyard preservation professionals by offering readily available, responsible information regarding graveyard protection and preservation. It is also designed to assist those who would undertake a preservation project in the reclaiming of a neglected or abandoned historic cemetery. The book is generously illustrated with diagrams and photos illustrating procedures and gravemarker and graveyard forms, styles, and materials. The appendix section is completely updated and expanded, offering a worthwhile resource in itself.

Book excerpt: "Randolph Cemetery is a historic African-American burial ground in Columbia, South Carolina. Established in 1872, the cemetery is named for Benjamin Franklin Randolph, a Reconstruction-era African-American senator who was assassinated in 1868. Randolph Cemetery was the most prominent African-American cemetery in Columbia from the late nineteenth century throughout much of the twentieth century, and it is the final resting place of many of Columbia's most notable African-American figures and families. In recognition of its significance to African-American history and culture, Randolph Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. This approximately four-acre property is located adjacent to Elmwood Cemetery in the northwest corner of Columbia, South Carolina. Since 1973, the cemetery has been administered by the Committee for the Restoration and Beautification of Randolph Cemetery (CRBRC), which gained trustee administration of the cemetery in 1984. The CRBRC has been supported in their efforts through partnerships with local nonprofit organizations, including the Downtown Columbia Cemetery Task Force (DCCTF) and the Historic Columbia Foundation (HCF). In its efforts to assist the Committee for the Restoration and Beautification of Randolph Cemetery, the DCTFF, a group of non-profit organizations working to preserve cemeteries in the city center, has received grant support from the State of South Carolina and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, which has funded a project to map and prepare a database of the burials and cemetery features within Randolph Cemetery. This grant was administered by the HCF. This report provides the results of this mapping and database project as well as recommendations for the future management and restoration of Randolph Cemetery."--Page iii.

Book excerpt: Australia's cemeteries contain a vast resource of cultural and historical information, the importance of which is currently undervalued by most sections of society. The resources that are present within a cemetery are assets to be valued by the community, as they provide a direct link to Australia's past. This project has reseached the application of geographic information system technology to the management of data such as that contained within the Beenleigh Cemetery. This project has found that the application of this technology to this data type is possible, and in fact could be easily attached to the current system employed by the local authority to manage data contained within in the cemetery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing urban populations prompted major changes in graveyard location, design, and use During the Industrial Revolution people flocked to American cities. Overcrowding in these areas led to packed urban graveyards that were not only unsightly, but were also a source of public health fears. The solution was a revolutionary new type of American burial ground located in the countryside just beyond the city. This rural cemetery movement, which featured beautifully landscaped grounds and sculptural monuments, is documented by James R. Cothran and Erica Danylchak in Grave Landscapes: The Nineteenth-Century Rural Cemetery Movement. The movement began in Boston, where a group of reformers that included members of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society were grappling with the city's mounting burial crisis. Inspired by the naturalistic garden style and melancholy-infused commemorative landscapes that had emerged in Europe, the group established a burial ground outside of Boston on an expansive tract of undulating, wooded land and added meandering roadways, picturesque ponds, ornamental trees and shrubs, and consoling memorials. They named it Mount Auburn and officially dedicated it as a rural cemetery. This groundbreaking endeavor set a powerful precedent that prompted the creation of similarly landscaped rural cemeteries outside of growing cities first in the Northeast, then in the Midwest and South, and later in the West. These burial landscapes became a cultural phenomenon attracting not only mourners seeking solace, but also urbanites seeking relief from the frenetic confines of the city. Rural cemeteries predated America's public parks, and their popularity as picturesque retreats helped propel America's public parks movement. This beautifully illustrated volume features more than 150 historic photographs, stereographs, postcards, engravings, maps, and contemporary images that illuminate the inspiration for rural cemeteries, their physical evolution, and the nature of the landscapes they inspired. Extended profiles of twenty-four rural cemeteries reveal the cursive design features of this distinctive landscape type prior to the American Civil War and its evolution afterward. Grave Landscapes details rural cemetery design characteristics to facilitate their identification and preservation and places rural cemeteries into the broader context of American landscape design to encourage appreciation of their broader influence on the design of public spaces.
