Welcome
Our old cemeteries are incredible repositories of history that provide a direct touchstone to the stories, narratives and cultures that shaped our past and present. The Stories in Stone cemetery heritage conferences were established in Brisbane in 2024 to share these fascinating histories and perspectives with the public, bringing together highly knowledgeable presenters including historians, researchers and volunteers; industry figures; archaeologists; musicians, and more. Every one of them is passionate about preserving and exploring our memorial heritage. We hope to make Stories in Stone an annual event in the Queensland history calendar.
