Historic Cemetery Preservation
Historic cemetery preservation is challenging due to the pressures of development, neglect, and climate change. Anne Arundel County strives to protect cemeteries during development review, as well as improve cemetery stewardship with public outreach opportunities.
This research is being conducted by the Historic Preservation Planning Section and its preservation intern, Emily Smithey, a graduate student in the University of Maryland, College Park Cultural and Heritage Resource Management program.
