We are in the process of building a wonderful web site for the ACPA, which will debut in a presentation at the Cemetery Workshop/Conference on Nov. 1. This site will be dedicated to sharing all kinds of material on PRESERVING, RESTORING AND CONSERVING Alabama Cemeteries. It is CHOCK-FULL of all kinds of GREAT things. Many of Alabama's cemeteries are being lost to the elements of mother nature, neglect and vandalism. The ACPA is working "hand in hand" with the Alabama Historical Commission to make sure that you have all the information you need to help preserve Alabama's Cemetery Heritage. One of the main missions of the ACPA is to encourage individuals, families and community groups to ADOPT a cemetery and take steps to help restore and preserve it. Issues on monument theft and vandalism are covered, as well as steps to take to ADOPT a cemetery. The site will have articles and "step by step" instructions, not only on the techniques of preserving and repairing cemeteries and grave markers, but also on the processes of establishing a non-profit Cemetery Association in Alabama, including by-laws, Articles of Association, and how and who to submit these to, so you can preserve your cemeteries for all time. Much of this information may be adapted to cemetery plights throughout the nation. Also a section on the Alabama Legal Code pertaining to laws that address the protection of cemeteries. AND VERY IMPORTANTLY, the ACPA has established an on-line CEMETERY REGISTER - A method/form for you to REGISTER cemeteries and burial surveys with the ACPA ON-LINE!. These REGISTERED Cemeteries will be recorded in the ACPA database, not only as a method to document them, but will be accompanied by a searchable database, so the guests to the ACPA web site may search cemeteries by name and county. It is the goal of the ACPA to REGISTER every cemetery in the state of Alabama. Once you register a cemetery, you may return to your original registration and up-date it with additional information as you discover it. We will also have a BURIAL LISTING database that will allow individuals to submit their cemetery burial surveys, also searchable by name, cemetery and county. ALL OF THIS will be presented at the Alabama Cemetery Workshop Conference on Nov. 1. Meanwhile, please visit the site and sign our GUESTBOOK to be notified when the full site will be fully operable and to receive further information about the Conference and ACPA Membership. http://www.alabama-cemetery-preservation.com or http://www.alcpa.net LAST BUT NOT LEAST! become an ACPA COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE! The ACPA is establishing a County Representative to act as a liaison for the ACPA in each County. We have JUST opened these volunteer positions up and they are GOING FAST! If you have Internet access and email and live in an Alabama county that you would like to represent, and are interested in preserving and recording the cemeteries in your county and would like to know more about this very important volunteer position, please contact me, or the ACPA County Coordinator, Ted Urquhart.
