Book
A graveyard preservation primer / Lynette Strangstad.
An updated edition of a resource for those who seek to protect and preserve historic graveyards. Discussion of technological changes include those in mapping, surveying, photography, archaeology, and other areas of evaluation and planning. Consideration is given, too, to maintenance and conservation treatments, including both traditional and newer treatments for stone, concrete, and metals. Metals were not discussed in the earlier editions, and protection and preservation of the landscape as it relates to graveyards is an expanded focus of this book.
