GUIDELINES FOR CEMETERY CONSERVATION PREFACE PREFACE 1. Purpose of these guidelines This Cemeteries Guidelines Paper has been produced with the twin objectives of providing public information, and encouraging feedback from all those concerned with cemetery conservation. The aim is practical advice combined with clear policy recommendations on conservation in cemeteries. The Cemeteries Guidelines Paper deals only with burials related to European settlement, including general cemeteries, churchyards, private or family cemeteries and lone graves. The discussion and guidelines do not cover Aboriginal burials except where these occur within European cemeteries, owing to a number of special considerations applying to Aboriginal burial places which may require different approaches from those recommended here. The Cemeteries Committee of the National Trust of Australia (NSW) produced its first “Cemeteries Policy Paper” in 1985. Significant changes have occurred in legislation and conservation practice, and this updated publication has been produced with financial assistance from the Heritage Council of NSW. 2. The National Trust Cemeteries Committee The National Trust Cemeteries Committee aims: • To promote recognition, protection and conservation of cemeteries in New South Wales. • To identify, document and assess the significance of cemeteries in New South Wales. • To recommend appropriate cemeteries for inclusion in the National Trust Register. • To provide expert technical advice and assistance on matters relating to cemetery conservation and management. The Committee includes people with expertise in various fields, including archaeology, architecture, landscape design, history, genealogy, geology, town planning, monumental masonry and cemetery management. The work the committee carries out is voluntary. The committee meets regularly to consider specific issues and to assess the heritage significance of cemeteries.
