This project is a collaborative effort geared towards systematically photographing and uploading pictures for all cemeteries in the Azores Archipelago. The photographs are taken by devoted volunteers visiting the islands who are selfless enough to donate a small amount of their time to photographing and documenting the graveyards in the local cemeteries, before the persons interred there are exhumed as is customary throughout Europe after a certain period of time elapsed in order to save space. For more information on the graves, their inscriptions, nearby burials, plot locations, and to find out whether a photograph of the deceased is available, please direct your inquiry to Jeremy Berry-Cahn, SJGS President.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
After having selected a cemetery, use the “View all interments” feature rather than the search bar for best results!
