Case Study: Huon Valley Council achieves a unified cemetery record platform with Chronicle

Huon Valley Council unifies 3,000+ cemetery records with Chronicle

Huon Valley Council faced the challenge of managing fragmented historical cemetery data, with records for its Huon Lawn and Dover Lawn cemeteries stored in an old database and spreadsheets. This made it difficult for staff to get a complete picture and limited public access to community history. The council partnered with Chronicle to unify these records and create a central, reliable resource.

Chronicle implemented a meticulous solution that began with comprehensive GIS mapping and on-the-ground verification of headstones to ensure data integrity. The result was a new interactive online platform that streamlines operations for staff and makes it easier for the public to locate loved ones and explore genealogy. The solution successfully unified records for over 8,550 burial spaces, preserving the community's history for future generations.
