The new issue of Inside History magazine is out, and it's a beauty, with a fascinating theme of cemetery research, how to do it, and where to find help. Lots of people are fascinated with cemeteries, even if they aren't into family history, including our Chair, Lisa Murray, who wrote her doctoral thesis on 'Cemeteries in 19th century New South Wales: Landscapes of memory and history'. Lisa, who is also Sydney's City Historian, has an article in the new Inside History, focussing on cemetery design, and how it evolved, along with town planning, from the churchyards of the early 19th century into the general cemeteries of today.

The magazine is running an offer for Mother's Day, of 18 months for the price of 12, via their Facebook page here. You'll have to get in quickly though, as the offer ends on Monday. Inside History also has a killer iPad app, which looks so beautiful it's almost distracting!  If you have an iPad, I'd definitely recommend getting it.
