Books

In this section we will endeavor to do our best to build a collection of publications pertaining to the vast subject of cemeteries. We will also do what we can to vet these publications making “do no harm” the main overall criteria. With this being said, these books and publications may have a wide variety of cemetery topics. And because the subject of cemetery preservation and restoration is still a young field, unfortunately, there has not been a great deal written on the subject. We hope this changes for the sake of all historic cemeteries and cemetery awareness.

“These books may contain some out dated techniques/procedures or even have regional differences that are in conflict with our standards”.
