Today we’re excited to announce an update to Canadian Headstones: Cemetery Heritage Records of Canada. This update includes data from 67 cemeteries in Alberta, Newfoundland & Labrador, Saskatchewan, and Quebec, adding more than 15,000 records to search.
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.
We’d like to thank Ben Jones for his assistance in making this data available online.
