Cemeteries hold our histories and tell many stories about our lives. Too many of Harris County’s historic cemeteries are in desperate need of preservation. In response, AIA-Houston is launching a collaborative public archaeology and public history project in memory of Howard Pieper, who wished to celebrate Houston’s history and ensure that it not be forgotten. The historic African-American Olivewood Cemetery is the site of our first year of events.
This is YOUR chance to help make Houston a better place! We invite you to join us in us in this vital work so that our Houston pasts will be preserved. We provide the training; you provide the hands that help reveal and preserve history.
The AIA is North America's largest and oldest nonprofit organization dedicated to archaeology. The Institute advances awareness, education, fieldwork, preservation, publication, and research of archaeological sites and cultural heritage throughout the world. Your contribution makes a difference.
