Historic Graves

The Historic Graves project is a community focused public history project, based in Ireland. Local community groups are trained in a low-cost high-tech field survey of historic graveyards and recording of their own oral histories. They build a multi-media online record of the historic graves in their own areas and unite to form a national resource.

On the website, using a digital crowdsourcing methodology, registered users describe the memorials and transcribe the epitaph, recording details of individuals buried there.
