Cemetery Cleaning and Documenting
On Saturdays that the Archives Center is not open, the staff and volunteers
go into the field to document and clean up the cemeteries of Cape Girardeau County. 
List of Cape Girardeau County Cemeteries
We clean headstones following the City of Cape Girardeau Cemetery Cleaning Handbook in order to photograph them in the best condition. We also clean up the area and document the location of each cemetery.
Currently at the Archive Center, we have indexes to all the Cape Girardeau County Cemeteries. We are more than willing to assist in the recovery of headstones and placement at their proper location (as featured in the Southeast Missourian).
When finished, we will have a complete database to help researchers find their Cape County ancestors.
If you are interested in volunteering your services to help document tombstones, please send us an email and include which cemeteries you're interested in helping out with.
