It's an American tradition to decorate our towns and cities with outdoor sculpture, to raise monuments to remember those who came before us, to declare our values and our creative spirit. Time and progress, nature and vandals have taken their toll on America's outdoor sculpture.
Poisons unknown a century ago now erode our monuments.
Preservation Services fulfills its mission through two programs, both supported by funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities and is a member of the Regional Alliance for Preservation. The Tombstone Transcription Project can help locate historic graveyards and the inscriptions on their stones. You can post your transcribed inscriptions on their web site.
