The team undertakes a similar task with burial registers and where permission is gained are entering them into a database.
The group actively seeks out burial registers to add to the collection which together with the memorial inscriptions makes up the largest single collection of South Australian cemetery material.

The group is working to include photographs of headstones in the database. This is an extensive undertaking and volunteers with their own digital cameras who can participate by photographing their local cemetery are very welcome. Please contact the project manager before undertaking any work to get the specifications.
