Abstract

The use of photography in research has enabled the preservation of several important features historical monuments such as headstones. This established visual record creates a gateway to studying the past in a more accessible way. Yet, these have also been used for more sentimental reasons, in the remembrance of the dead; by establishing a seriation in their use on headstones, which commence in the mid-1980s and then in the 1990s in Oxford, UK cemeteries.


Keywords: Cemeteries, headstones, photograph, portraiture, seriation.
