The registers were made available by Cork County Council, who are now responsible for each of the graveyards, and were transcribed by a small team of Skibbereen Heritage Centre volunteers.
This upload almost doubles the size of the free-to-access database. It already held around 2,800 records collected as a result of surveys carried out in eleven local graveyards. The surveys involved photographing and transcribing the headstones, mapping the graves, and gathering any local knowledge of each graveyard and those buried within. The database holds the transcriptions and links to photos of the memorials.
A further survey has recently been undertaken at Kilcoe (new) graveyard, and these records have also been uploaded to the database.
