PAC Members – PAC is organizing a day of service at Midland Cemetery, in Swatara Township, Dauphin County, on Sunday, October 30, 2022.
Midland Cemetery – http://www.steeltonpa.com/for-residents/historic-midland-cemetery/
We will be working with Friends of Midland Cemetery members and volunteers to complete a GPS map of this approximately 3-acre cemetery. There are a few hundred headstones and other above-ground features to be mapped, geo-referenced, photographed, and text-recorded into a single, accurate map and database.
We will meet at 10 AM at Midland Cemetery on Sunday, October 30th . This is the day after the PA State Museum Archaeology Workshops and two days after our Fall PAC Meeting. At noon, Friends of Midland Cemetery members and volunteers will join us to form mapping teams and conduct the work.
If you have a survey quality GPS, please bring it. We are hoping to have at least a half dozen in operation that day. If you don’t have access to a survey quality GPS, come anyway. Lunch will be provided by PAC.
If you are planning on coming or have a GPS unit that you can loan to the project for that day, please let the PAC Midland Committee know ahead of time – Ben Ford, Kira Heinrich, Lisa Dugas, or Casey Hanson. Ben’s e-mail is nywq@iup.edu.
