In Galveston, a new resource is available for those researching local history. The city has completed a project to make cemetery records accessible online. This effort involved mapping and identifying gravesites in city-owned cemeteries.

The project took three years to complete and involved digitizing handwritten records. Many headstones were difficult to decipher due to age and weathering.

Further details about the project and the online tool are available from the city of Galveston.
