Association for Gravestone Studies Annual Conference – June 17-22, 2025, York College of Pennsylvania, York, PA
Call for Papers, Presentations, Student Posters, and Student Fellowships – Submission deadline March 31, 2025
The Association for Gravestone Studies (AGS) is an international organization that promotes the serious study of gravestones and cemeteries from historical and artistic perspectives, educates and expands public awareness of the significance of historic gravestones and burial landscapes, and encourages individuals and groups to document and research gravestones and historic cemeteries. Recent scholarly presenters have come from the fields of history, African-American studies, archaeology, cultural studies, libraries and archives, historic preservation, public history, religious studies, art history, material culture, anthropology, and art. Professionals include conservators, cemetery directors, monument company personnel, state and local historic preservation officers, and historic site managers. AGS welcomes presentation and paper proposals from graduate students, emerging and independent scholars, and advocational researchers as well as established scholars and AGS members. This year students have the opportunity to submit proposals for a student-only poster session. In addition, advanced graduate students may apply for one of two conference fellowships to present their research.
