About this Journal
Markers: Annual Journal of the Association for Gravestone Studies
Markers is the leading scholarly journal dedicated to the study of gravestones, monuments, tombs, and cemeteries. Supported by a distinguished editorial board of experts in cemetery studies, Markers covers diverse regions around the globe, from the ancient world to our contemporary moment. Broadly interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, the journal presents rigorous analysis and interpretation, delving into areas such as ritual and belief, economics and technology, genealogy and conservation, and especially highlighting the tangible objects—the cemeteries and gravestones—that are its central focus. Markers has covered topics ranging from the distinctive gravemarkers used by African Americans in Virginia to the opulent mausoleums of Gilded Age America and wooden gravemarkers in New Zealand. Encompassing anthropology, art and architectural history, and ethnic studies as well as material culture studies, folklore, popular culture studies, and linguistics, the journal appeals to scholars and general readers alike. Since its inception in the late 1970s, it has embraced new theoretical approaches, including contemporary queer theory and new materialism, while also maintaining its longstanding concern with foundational areas of the field, such as the identification, documentation, preservation, and conservation of gravestones in their cemetery landscapes, as well as symbology, typology, and carver studies. A vital resource for researchers, Markers is also a visually captivating publication, with rich illustrations that engage readers and highlight the importance of visual culture in the study of cemeteries and gravestones.
