5th Street Cemetery Necrogeographical Study
The 5th Street Cemetery Necrogeographical Study is a GIS-based project that marries current GIS, GPS and surveying technologies with traditional historical research and fieldwork. Begun in October 2001, the project has focused on two (2) cemeteries located inside the limits of Lewiston, Idaho, a city of 31,000. Normal Hill Cemetery, the present graveyard, was founded in 1888.

HELP!! I am the archivist for a cemetery in a small town in Pennsylvania where the associated synagogue is no longer operational. I am part of a foundation that cares for the cemetery and am interested in creating a GIS map of the cemetery to put on the website. I have the ORTHO photo and can get the parcel map and have no clue of what to do. I have a masters in urban planning so am familiar with the jargon and not the process as GIS was not my specialty!
Please e-mail me with help on the process as this is all volunteer and I am NOT getting paid for any of it!!
I don’t exactly know how you would use GIS with your cemetary project, but I came across a resource that you might be able to contact for more information. If you follow this link, it might help…

PS. My father is the volunterr that runs the cemetary for our synogogue and your topic caught my attention.
Good Luck! Let me know if you get anywhere with your project.
