HISTORIC CEMETERIES IN CULTURAL CONTEXTS

LOCAL TO GLOBAL

The Woodland Cemetery and African American Burial Ground Historic Preservation Project and the Legacy Council at Clemson University are pleased to invite you to participate in our second annual Research Symposium. This year's theme, "Historic Cemeteries in Cultural Contexts, Local to Global," encompasses the broadest conception of burial grounds, from local cemeteries to shipwrecks on the seafloor. Burial grounds in diverse places require recognition and memorialization. Over two days, this symposium will bring together research concerning historic burial grounds and cemeteries; the local, national, global, and cultural contexts of cemetery research and community engagement; and the multifaceted efforts to commemorate such spaces.

This symposium is sponsored by the Legacy Council and Clemson University. The symposium is free and open to everyone, but registration is required for each participant. If you have further questions about the Research Symposium, please email afamburials@clemson.edu or call (864) 656-8855.
