Indiana Pioneer Cemeteries
Restoration Project



INPCRP Organization


Restoration and Research Volunteers:  These are the people who volunteer to help out on each project.  Research Volunteers are responsible for collecting as much data as possible about the project cemetery and the people buried there.  Research volunteers will need to work at the local library and /or County Recorders office to locate missing records as well as at the cemetery to help with survey and marker records.  Restoration volunteers work at the cemetery to clear the grounds and remove brush and weeds, cut the grass, repair fences and grave markers, and fill grave depressions. 

Project Volunteer:  Each cemetery project will have a Project Volunteer who will oversee activities at the cemetery and coordinate the efforts of the Research and Restoration Volunteers. 

County Coordinator:  The County Coordinator will coordinate the various projects, maintain the county web site, and assist the other volunteers as much as possible. The County Coordinator is also responsible for recruiting Project, Restoration, and Research volunteers for each cemetery project. 

State Coordinator:  The State Coordinator will coordinate the counties, attempt to keep all counties "adopted", maintain the state web site, and provide resources to aid the County Coordinators. State Coordinator will also assist in setting up media coverage, when possible.
