Our Mission:

The Oregon Historic Cemeteries Association (OHCA) is a non-profit corporation formed to educate the public about our cemeteries, to build and maintain appropriate databases, and to protect our cemeteries and their records.

Our Program:

OHCA has five general components:

A. To serve as a statewide association for the education of the public in the historical and cultural heritage contained in our cemeteries. B. To provide research facilities for its members and for the public. C. To assume responsibility as a safe depository/repository for appropriate materials of agencies and businesses when those materials are no longer needed or used by those agencies and businesses. D. To advocate for the preservation, restoration, and protection of all Oregon cemeteries and their associated signs, markers, and other property, by whatever legal, legislative or other reasonable means are at the association's disposal. E. To promote information gathering, dissemination and referral in cooperation with interested organizations and individuals.
