Galway County Council, IE Graveyard Search Digital Mapping
Drone mapping of burial sites and trained volunteer surveying resulted in accurate records for 40,000 memorials. This information was fed into the Graveyard Search App for easy online access. App users search for memorials by graveyard location, names, or years of death. Each entry includes the memorial type and a complete record of the inscription. County officials are working with the Heritage Council and the Open Data Engagement Fund on expanded memorial mapping.
