Arch Club: All Things Cemetery

Cemeteries are the repository of more than dead bodies. They help us understand our history, preserve open space, offer respite and reflection, and provide job opportunities. In this presentation David Zinner will tell us about PRINCE — Preservation and Rehabilitation Initiative for Neglected Cemetery Entities, a program to provide skills and field experience for Incarcerated Citizens and help with placement when they are released from prison. David will also discuss proposed State legislation regarding cemeteries.

This meeting of the NHSM Archaeology Club will take place on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link and passcode via email, register for the program. Please contact the club coordinator (mfalk@marylandnature.org) with any questions.

NHSM’s Arch Club was founded in 2019 to promote the value of archaeology in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and surrounding areas. The goal of the club is to educate citizens and residents in the ethics and methods of archaeology and to document, discover, and promote local history. The Arch Club is inclusive to all persons who have an interest in archaeology.

Although you don’t need to be a member to attend a meeting, membership gives you access to additional experiences. Annual NHSM membership is $35 for individuals, $50 for families; Arch Club membership is an additional $5 for individuals and $10 for families.
