many groups including the Metro Archives, Colonial Dames (NSCDA-TN), 
Nashville Room of the Public Library, Metro Planning and Historical 
Commissions, Historic Nashville, Inc., the State Archaeologist, local 
historians and citizens. Initiated by the Nashville Town Committee of 
the Colonial Dames during the fall of 1999, with the training of 
volunteers to survey and record tombstones and with a grant to the 
Metro Archives for a staff person to enter the inscriptions on a 
computer database. The project has involved over 90 volunteers.
