Photogrammetric Results of Cemetery Inscription Analysis

Summary

Being presented here are the results from the digital work done in the cemetery. Focusing on revealing the lost inscriptions, the goals of this project have been to corroborate the list of people buried in the cemetery, and identify the names and dates of those either not listed or those for whom the records are not complete.

In using photogrammetry, burial monuments in the Emanu-El cemetery in Victoria, BC are being rediscovered and assessed for cultural preservation purposes. This digital technology is being used in conjunction with archival research, looking at the individuals buried in this cemetery. By identifying the names and dates associated with the monuments, we are able to recreate an identity for the individuals buried here. Additionally, we are able to assess which monuments are in danger of environmental damage, and identify them for potential preservation efforts. This digital project has been run alongside other archaeological and cultural surveys in the cemetery.
