Disclaimer
The information provided as part of the Adopt-A-Grave program on this web site is the work of secondary aged students and is their general summary for the public. 
The National Trust of Australia (WA) does not guarantee the accuracy of the research.

Background
Adopt-A-Grave brings together the skills of research and website technology with gardening and maintenance.

Students taking part in the program are given the opportunity to research and interpret an important period and theme of local history and are empowered to present this information in a meaningful way to their peers and others.

They were introduced to East Perth Cemeteries by experts, trained in maintenance of heritage places by curatorial and heritage staff, taught research skills at the State Library of Western Australia and finally create web site information pages at school. These are made available to the public through the National Trust website.

The students are encouraged to follow their own interests and make the website information interesting for others of a similar age group.
