Abstract

I See Dead People: Mapping Underground Assets of Cemeteries
Track: Online Services
Authors: Trisha Brush, Christy Powell

Cemeteries are located in nearly every community. The records behind these cemeteries can be complex and contain not only the information about plot ownership, but burial records. While maps of cemeteries exist on paper for many years, digital maps aren't common. This presentation involves the evolution of old record books and plat maps to digital records, with online access through a cemetery website and interactive map.
