The FPAN East Central Region periodically needs volunteers to assist in two on-going projects: the Brevard County Historic Cemetery Recording Project (BCHCRP) and the Orange County Historic Cemetery Recording Project (OCHCRP). Both of these projects seek to record historic cemeteries for the Florida Master Site File, the state’s database for all cultural resources, as well as conduct some research about the sites themselves.
Volunteers can assist in researching sites, helping to record sites, helping prepare reports, and assisting in some wider research geared towards public education about these cultural resources. No experience is necessary. If interested, please contact us.
There are many organizations you can join to pursue an interest in archaeology. Here are some of our favorites:
Florida Anthropological Society
Florida Association of Museums
Society for American Anthropology
Society for Historical Archaeology
