The Monumental Archive Project was established to act as an open platform for historic cemeteries research to address issues of accessibility and sustainability, whilst also stimulating creativity and collaboration.About

It has been a year in the making and is still in the beginning stages. It is being launched with one collection of more than 20 locations in Barbados, with more than 2000 monuments. From here, it is hoped that the collection will grow, and that users will also share their results, their tips, their ideas.

You can search the archives, you can download the entire file, you can explore them through maps, you can learn about the individual sites or churchyards. This blog will act as a space for discussion and guest blogs about individual research experiences, ideas and tips.

Thanks to ResearchBuzz for the heads-up.
