Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of historic Mount Moriah Cemetery in Southwest Philadelphia and Yeadon, Delaware County in Pennsylvania. Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery is expanding its membership and looking for volunteers to assist in restoring the cemetery.
There are an estimated 80,000 people buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery, including celebrities, historical figures, and several thousand veterans, some dating back to the Civil War.
The cemetery is overgrown with vegetation, damaged by vandals and is in need of restoration. We need to expand our membership to be successful. We kindly ask that you complete the following survey so that we can determine the level of interest regarding this effort: http://mountmoriahcemetery.org/survey/index.php?sid=66192 |

As part of my plan to make information about burials in Mount Moriah easier to find, I am looking for volunteers who would be willing to aid in transforming some of the data we have collected over the years into a standard format. By placing the information into a standard format, we can create new ways of looking at the collective history of the cemetery, such as mapping the location of burials, or displaying a historical timeline of burials.
There currently is no standardized method used for storing the data for most of the interments. The exception to this is a database of burials in the Civil War Plot and in the Naval Administration Plot. These interments are stored in a database table that lends itself to searching and storing this information.
