In 2014 and 2015, FPAN and the University of West Florida worked with the City of Pensacola, local cemetery stewards, and a variety of community organizations to help ensure that Pensacola’s historic cemeteries were properly protected and preserved for the benefit of future generations.
The outcome of this project was a manual detailing best practices for sound conservation and management of the city’s historic cemeteries. Although this guide is specific to Pensacola, the practices discussed in detail can easily be applied to cemeteries across Florida and the U.S.
