Jason Harpe, Director of Cemetery Conservation for Richard Grubb & Associates, Inc., will deliver an illustrated presentation on the basics of cemetery preservation and best practices in photography and documentation that are invaluable to both grassroots efforts undertaken by individuals, families, and non-profit organizations and larger scopes of work considered by churches and municipalities. We will discuss working with individuals, small to large groups of stewards and descendant communities, non-profit preservation organizations, and municipalities on short-term and long-term plans to address the preservation needs of historic cemeteries that range from the conservation of a few historic grave markers to long-range plans that addresses issues with tree and monument assessments, site maintenance and interpretation, fundraising and grant writing, geophysical surveys, the completion of cemetery survey forms, and local landmark and National Register of Historic Places eligibility assessments.
