Indiana Department of Natural Resources - State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD)
SHAARD gives interested parties the opportunity to access the cultural resource data the DHPA holds on historic properties and cemetery resources across Indiana. Researchers can easily search records concerning National Register properties, theaters, historic bridges, county surveys, and cemeteries, gaining information on a resource’s location and site characteristics, as well as viewing photos and maps of the sites and structures. SHAARD can help you know more about historic and active cemeteries within each Indiana county. It allows access to all of the data collected through the DHPA’s Cemetery and Burial Ground Registry, which includes cemeteries’ locations, known number of graves, general assessment of the cemeteries’ condition, ethnic/organizational affiliations, and architectural features, as well as maps and photos.
