The State Historic Preservation Office will host a free webinar in its Saving the Sacred series on Thursday, September 4, at 2 p.m.

Saving the Sacred: “Cemetery Preservation and Conservation, Session 1” will be presented by Jason Harpe, Public Historian/Director of Cemetery Conservation at Richard Grubb and Associates in North Carolina, with Lynda Ozan, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer, as the moderator.

Many cemetery stewards understand that they need to do something about the issues they face, but they have no idea where to start or who they should involve to help guide them on this journey. This session will provide details on the cemetery preservation planning process for stewards of historic cemeteries, including basics such as ownership, stewardship, memorialization, interpretation, short-term and long-term planning, signage, community engagement, fundraising, and grant writing.
