Association Information
Association Activity : The Association for Gravestone Studies (AGS) was founded in 1977 for the purpose of furthering the study and preservation of gravestones. AGS is an international organization with an interest in gravemarkers of all periods and styles. Through its publications, conferences, workshops and exhibits, AGS promotes the study of gravestones from historical and artistic perspectives, expands public awareness of the significance of historic gravemarkers, and encourages individuals and groups to record and preserve gravestones. At every opportunity, AGS cooperates with groups that have similar interests.

More Information and FAQ sections are provided for the newcomer to gravestone studies. This section offers answers to basic questions about gravemarkers, such as, "Gravestone Rubbing Do's and Don'ts", "Tools and Materials for Gravestone Cleaning Projects", and "Symbolism on Gravemarkers". Our members have many areas of study or specialization and we strive to assist the new member in finding the information they seek in an efficient manner.

Membership benefits include the quarterly newsletter, AGS Quarterly and a monthly e-newsletter. Both feature articles, book reviews, research material, and items of general interest to AGS members. Members also receive Markers: Annual Journal of the Association for Gravestone Studies; discounts on AGS publications; access to the research clearinghouse and the AGS Lending Library. AGS has over 1200 members worldwide, including members in Venezuela, England, Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada and Brazil. Please see News & Notes to view the featured articles to be found in our next issue. Membership categories are discussed further in Join the AGS.

AGS Quarterly: The AGS Quarterly Editorial Board seeks feature articles from members. Send your ideas for feature articles to the AGS office in care of the AGS Quarterly Editorial Board. Members are also encouraged to send news clippings about gravestone issues.

Book reviews are also encouraged. To suggest a book for review or to ask about reviewing a book, write to the Book Review Editor, c/o AGS, 278 Main St., Suite 207, Greenfield, MA 01301, or send an email to info@gravestonestudies.org.

Markers: Each issue of Markers, the Association's annual scholarly journal, features definitive illustrated articles on many aspects of cemeteries and gravemarkers. It also includes the annual international bibliography, "The Year's Work in Cemetery/Gravemarker Studies." Markers seeks submissions from scholars and researchers in all fields. Contact the editor, Richard Meyer, for further information and manuscript guidelines. Beginning with volume 21, each new issue of Markers is automatically shipped to members. Issues can also be ordered separately (see the complete list of Markers contents, issues, and prices).
