The National Preservation Institute is hosting:

Cemetery Preservation: Making Good Choices, presented by Chicora Foundation
from Columbia, South Carolina.

Like any preservation project, work in cemeteries requires that you make
choices. This workshop is designed for anyone intending to begin a cemetery
preservation or "restoration" project and will help ensure that these
choices are sound and don't harm what you are seeking to protect.
Discussions focus on current issues in cemetery preservation, such as
recording and documenting cemeteries and graveyards, undertaking
preservation efforts, and exploring conservation techniques and issues.

Chicora Foundation has 20 years experience in cemetery preservation and has
worked in a number of Georgia cemeteries. This is a unique opportunity to
get great advice on your cemetery preservation project.
