Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the problem of the destruction and disappearance of gravestones and other burial memorials in the United Kingdom, both in the past and present. It focuses on recording tombstones and other memorials in churchyards and burial grounds across the country, both inside and outside churches. The author argues that such records are imperative because they can provide us with invaluable genealogical information, particularly in relation to families from the lower classes, who often couldn't afford to be buried in churches but whose lives are of equal historical value. The author offers guidance for volunteers who would like to take up this hobby, presenting a choice of recording methods including verbatim transcripts through to abbreviated notes. The book emphasizes the contribution that dedicated laypeople can make to historical preservation, and the rewards to be found in this fascinating and sometimes moving activity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331954507_0
