Historic Cemeteries Commission 

releases publications on three topics

 

The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries released today three new
publications related to photography, funerary folk art and development
around historic cemeteries.

 

The publications include two position papers:

     -- "Recommendations Concerning Development Around Historic Cemeteries"
is a summary of best practices summary to consider for the preservation of
historic cemeteries with construction or land disturbance occurring nearby. 

     -- "Filming and Photography in Historic Cemeteries" outlines
recommendations for cemetery managers in establishing rules and ethical
practices for photographers. 

 

The new Heritage Bulletin discusses "Funerary Folk Art and the Concrete
Alternative."  It details various "non-traditional" marker materials and
provides instruction for creating a long-lasting concrete marker. 

 

The Historic Cemeteries Commission has released other position papers
<http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/HCD/OCHC/OCHC_Tech_Support_.shtml>  and Heritage
Bulletins <http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/HCD/OCHC/OCHC_Tech_Support_.shtml>
for the care and preservation of Oregon's historic cemeteries. The
commission also offers annual marker repair trainings and grants
<http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/FINASST/Pages/grants.aspx>  for cemetery
project. 

 

State law established the seven-member commission to maintain a listing of
all historic cemeteries and gravesites in Oregon; promote public education
on the significance of historic cemeteries; and help obtain financial and
technical assistance for restoring, improving and maintaining their
appearances. To read the papers or to get more information on historic
cemeteries visit www.oregonheritage.org <http://www.oregonheritage.org/>  or
