Today we’re announcing a new database in collaboration with Canadian Headstones, Canadian Headstones: Cemetery Heritage Records of Canada. We will be announcing complete datasets by individual cemeteries over the next several months.
Canadian Headstones is a volunteer-operated Canadian non-profit dedicated to the digital preservation of Canada’s cemetery heritage. We are working together to create an index-only database that links back to the Canadian Headstones website for each record, which include headstone images, transcriptions, and full citations. To learn more about Canadian Headstones and their mission, please visit their website.
