Historical Cemeteries

This hosted feature layer has been published in RI State Plane Feet NAD 83. Data are collected by a variety of means, primarily through the use of the Rhode Island Advisory Commission on Historical Cemeteries online cemetery database (https://rihistoriccemeteries.org), existing public records, and publications. Location data are verified against aerial photography available from RIGIS, Google Maps, and Bing Maps, and verified in the field as needed and when possible by volunteer researchers equipped with consumer grade GPS units. The purpose of this dataset is to represent both known and suspected locations of historic cemeteries in the State of Rhode Island. Attribute definitions indicate which data points have been verified. This dataset supplements the Rhode Island Advisory Commission on Historical Cemeteries online cemetery database. Users should note that this dataset is out of date and incomplete. Refer to the Rhode Island Advisory Commission on Historical Cemeteries online cemetery database (https://rihistoriccemeteries.org) for the most current information.
