Editor's Notes
- John Tierney is a field archaeologist with 30 years experience. Secretary of our local heritage group in Ardmore, Waterford formerly secretary of Ardmore GAA where i got the equivalent of a Phd in rural community development.
- John Tierney works with Eachtra Archaeological Project who apply archaeological methods to community heritage & genealogy projects with www.historicgraves.com and www.thememorytrail.com. Eachtra are highly digital in their excavation & post-excavation methodologies which has developed a strong skillset in managing geolocated digital datasets and the lessons we have learned on large excavation projects have been applied to community heritage & digital publication.
- We work with community groups.
- Woolly hats and layers of clothing are required all year round.
- Gravestone recording is done in pairs – aiming for a high quality product.
- We attach names to places in the landscape - we are geolocating digital heritage - new paradigm for publication & communication. By gelocating everything we make it easier for visitors to find places despite the maze of boreens which often lead to the graveyard or homestead.
- Our main website is www.historicgraves.com It is a powerful multimedia content management system, based on Drupal which is freely available on the web, thus allowing communities to publish their own data without major costs.
- Distribution map of the community surveyed graveyards - there are over 700 graveyards online in the system, surveyd and published by over 400 community groups in 5.5 years. We are also working on projects in the UK. And no surprise communities in the UK are very similar to Irish communities.
