Association of Significant Cemeteries of Europe: December 2011

Assistens Kirkegård (Copenhagen, Denmark)

In 1711 a virulent epidemic caused the death of one third of the inhabitants of Copenhagen.

In 2012, as a part of several projects, ASCE will hold several photo exhibitions of significant cemeteries within EUCEMET project. We expect that these exhibitions will be covered by press and have a positive impact on recognition of our cemeteries and work in the public.

Any member that wishes to participate can start preparing by getting the photos of their cemetery. Most important is that:

photos are Licensed according to Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License
photos are in the largest possible size, at least 2400 × 3600 px (150 DPI)
photos have proper description (what is in the photo)
author is known (personal name and contacts)
geographic location is known

Participation rules and details will be provided when agreed in the project. All the members are invited to participate.

Details from our AGM in Vienna this year were presented in an article in Friedhofskultur. Great work from our friends at Friedhöfe Wien.
