How to Use the GIS Map

Methods for Collecting Geographic Information System Data for the Cemetery
​
The "Restore & Record Event" was a community volunteer day where volunteers from Sunbury and Bucknell University came to collect the information on each headstone.
Bucknell students collected the location data for each headstone using GIS technology over the course of several weeks.
​
The data collected from the "Restore & Record Event" and the GIS collection data was merged to produce a comprehensive Sunbury Cemetery GIS map.
