    3. You should SEE what they are doing to restore St Michael's Cemetery in Pensacola, FL!!!!!! http://www.uwf.edu/gis/smc/index.cfm Geographers from the University of West Florida have surveyed the cemetery using a total station (a precision survey instrument) and survey grade GPS. A GIS of the cemetery has been constructed consisting of all graves, tombs, roads, botanical data and other features within the cemetery. This GIS is available as an interactive map at the above link. Simply click on any grave in the map for more information. You can also query the database behind the map to search for information about people buried in the cemetery. During 2007 GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) data will be added to the interactive maps that will help reveal information about the location of the "Hidden Peoples of St. Michael's Cemetery." <http://www.uwf.edu/gis/smc/index.cfm>Saint Michael's Cemetery Interactive Map (turn off any pop-up blocker) <http://www.uwf.edu/gis/smc/../smc/images/smc1.jpg>Aerial Image of Cemetery
