New Orleans Cemetery Database--The Historic New Orleans Collection
The New Orleans Cemetery Database is available through the website of the Historic New Orleans Collection and currently contains survey information from the early 1980s for St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 and St. Louis Cemetery No. 2. The information provided is what was transcribed from memorial tablets and does not reflect the scope of our interment records. Only names and dates inscribed upon memorialization tablets were recorded and ultimately digitized. Records for the additional seven cemeteries surveyed as part of the earlier project are available to view on microfilm within the Williams Research Center of the Historic New Orleans Collection.
