1/16/14

Hello everyone!! This is my first official week interning at the Volusia County Parks, Recreation, and Culture Department where I will be working on rural graveyard preservation. Already this week I finished documenting the Glenwood Cemetery and my boss sent the compiled documentation and form to the Florida Master Site File where all the information can be requested. I will admit the reason I finished with Glenwood Cemetery so quickly was because I was able to start last Friday but I consider this to be my first official week. I am amazed that I was already able to put the finishing touches on a cemetery file.

This is a glimpse into the research that is done when researching a cemetery


Tomorrow I have to submit some final medical paperwork, which will allow me to start my fieldwork tomorrow! My boss, my coworker, and myself will be visiting Glenwood Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and a few more that will be determined tomorrow. I am so excited to start documenting the graveyards and see what stories are in store for me!
