The Digital Cemetery Finds a Home with JoCoHistory

The Johnson County Library has launched a new version of the Digital Cemetery, a Web project that provides burial information from local cemeteries. The creator of the site, Linda Lewis, has developed it into a popular and well-regarded tool for local historians and genealogists since it went online in 2005 on her private domain. The Library applied for and received grant funding from the Johnson County Heritage Trust Fund to complete the transcriptions and move the site into its technical environment. The work has been completed and The Digital Cemetery is now available at http://cemetery.jocohistory.org
