12/03/2023 02:00 PM 12/03/2023 04:00 PM America/Anguilla An Introduction to Gravestone Conservation Genealogist and Gravestone Conservator, Christopher White, will take us on a journey into old and neglected local cemeteries where time has taken its toll on 18th and 19th century gravestones. Gravestones can be the last and only vestige of a person's life and older neglected cemeteries may be some of our most vulnerable historic sites. Conservation of the artifacts can be extremely rewarding to all involved. Through a series of photographs White will present the process of gravestone conservation, maintenance, and restoration on both small and large gravestones.
