The goal of the Oakland cemetery project was to produce an accessible record of all local gravestones to help researchers and the general public understand their historic value. Oakland is an excellent example of how both historic and public archaeology are important to the cataloging and preserving of a town's history.
Oakland's cultural past is being protected, maintained, and enjoyed through various organizations as well as through community involvement. This is a discussion of past and current trends as well as new ways to encourage and enrich this type of understanding through local cemeteries for this and other communities.
