Laurie, I do not know of one group working to catalogue and protect cemeteries in GA. There are several that do come to mind but Georgia has so many cemeteries it would take a massive club or organization to even scratch the surface. At SavingGraves we depend on you and me and others to catalogue , clean and insure our cemeteries so they will be protected for many , many generations. Lots of groups take care of particular cemeteries and they are angels. If you have the energy, time, please volunteer at a cemetery after you learn a few rules of the preservationist. We need people like you to help us save GA cemeteries. If I can be of any assistance please let me know.
