Inventory of Arizona's Historic Cemeteries

     The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is committed to preserving Arizona's historic past for future generations of Arizonans...and old cemeteries are a part of that past.  

     The Inventory of Arizona's Historic Cemeteries (IAHC) is the Pioneers' Cemetery Association's Legacy project for the Arizona State Centennial in 2012.  It was conceived to record the location and condition of forgotten graves and graveyards associated with Arizona's ghost towns, missions, homesteads, ranches, mining camps, dams, disaster sites and state and federal forest lands.  Many such lonely graves are in danger of being inadvertently destroyed by off-roading vandalism, landfills, road construction and future housing developments.   You can read the text of the Pioneers' Cemetery Association's successful Legacy Project application here.

     If you know of a gravesite located on private or public land that does not appear on the county page listed below, please submit it to SHPO by downloading, filling out and mailing this form. You do not need to answer each and every question asked on the form if you don't have that information, but please describe the grave's location as fully as possible (GPS coordinates are good).

      Please direct your questions about the Inventory project itself to the county coordinators listed below.
