Cemetery Preservation Workshops, Kentucky Historical Society, KHS

Kentucky Historical Society

FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 25, 2013) — This spring and summer, the Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) Cemetery Preservation Program will host a series of 10 workshops throughout southern and eastern Kentucky to help Kentuckians preserve their local cemeteries.

Each cemetery preservation workshops will include discussions on Kentucky cemetery laws; access to family cemeteries; attorney general’s opinions relating to descendants’ access rights; deed information and how it relates to the inclusion or exclusion of cemeteries; preservation efforts, including cleaning, repairing and mapping a cemetery; registration of a cemetery with the Kentucky Historical Society’s Cemetery Preservation Database; and the introduction of two new programs, the Kentucky Historical Society’s Pioneer Cemetery program and the Kentucky Historical Society’s Adopt-a-Cemetery program.

These workshops are made possible with support from the Steele-Reese Foundation and the KHS Foundation.

“Grant funds from the Steele-Reese Foundation have enabled KHS to develop this array of workshops and programs to help Kentuckians preserve their cemeteries. The Adopt-A-Cemetery Program and Pioneer Cemetery Program could not have been successfully designed and implemented without their support, said Stuart Sanders, KHS professional services administrator. “Much work is left to be done, but with their continued support and cooperation, combined with the financial support of the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation, many more people will be made aware of the need to protect and preserve Kentucky’s historical cemeteries.”
