Hello TIGS listers - If you are interested in helping in this project (described below) please reply to me off-list - christine.connell@gmail.com I'm tentatively suggesting June 21 or June 28 (both Saturdays) but with the daylight lasting into the evening, perhaps a few hours on a weeknight in late June would also give us time to get a lot of cataloging done. If interested please let me know your availability and date/time preferences. At several recent TIGS meetings, we talked about a project to assist the Lansingburgh Historical Society (LHS) in completing the cataloging of gravestones at the Lansingburgh Village Burial Ground (LVBG) and the adjacent Old Catholic Cemetery (OCC). Here's some background info on both cemeteries http://www.lansingburghhistoricalsociety.org/Lansingburgh_Cemeteries.html I recently met at the cemetery with Dave Marsh and John Ward of LHS. Dave Marsh told me that LVBG was already 2/3 cataloged on a spreadsheet. I would think that the remaining rows could be done easily in a day, even adding photographs and doing some minimal stone cleanup (old, old, old, and many unreadable). After finishing LVBG we could move across the street and catalog the smaller OCC Both men thought it would be a great idea for TIGS to publish the completed catalog on the TIGS website, as they have limited space and expertise to implement changes like this on their site. I understand we all have many other commitments, especially around graduation time, but I think we could make great progress with a small group of people in just a few hours. Thanks for reading ... and hope you can join us
