[HistoricCemeteries] Be inlcuded in the Oregon Heritage Assessment Survey

[Kuri Gill]

You are encouraged to participate in a 2010 Oregon Heritage Assessment
Survey that assesses the status of heritage and historic cemeteries in
Oregon, including the threats they face. The surveys will be compiled
and analyzed, then used to provide a fact-based foundation for statewide
planning and advocacy.
 
 “Many cultural heritage organizations and sectors are under stress
“said Oregon Heritage Commission Chair George Kramer of Ashland.
“In order to develop successful strategies that address their
needs, we need to first discover the many challenges they face. We
expect that some of the challenges are nationwide in scope, while others
are unique to Oregon.”
 
A survey has been developed especially for historic cemeteries. The
deadline for completing the survey is Feb. 12.

The Commission is recommending that historic cemeteries first take a
look at the printable PDF version of the survey and use it as a
worksheet.  When the worksheet is complete, enter your information in
the online survey. You must finish your online survey in one session;
you will not be allowed to save your answers and return to your session,
or to retake the survey. If you prefer submitting the printed worksheet,
you may do that.
