an exhibition at the Museum of London in 2000. West
Norwood Cemetery gets a mention.

- Highgate Cemetery: Victorian
valhalla. Visually, a splendid
site. The eeriest animated gifs I've ever seen, with text
on interesting victorians buried there and covered in a
radio series called 'The Sexton's Tales.' The text is in
appropriately lurid green and purple on a black
background. Go there now!
- Jim Tipton's Find-a-Grave site. Jim says: "I collect dirt from the gravesites
of noteworthy people... This is a source for where such
people are buried..." And just in case you think he's
kidding about the collection, there's a dingy photo of it
(a row of labelled jars, looking disturbingly like my
spice rack). His database is intensively researched; find
out which author is buried in Rarotonga in the Cook
Islands! He even mentions our very own Charles
Spurgeon.

available already. A vast project, apparently going well,
which aims to collate information about all the burial
grounds where Jews are buried.

follow the links via the Prague Ghetto section for a HUGE
but rather lovely picture of the Jewish cemetery.

history. Indeed it is somehow one of the most alive spots
in Key West."
