Welcome to the Hart Island Project, an artist and community collaboration. Our website and database are currently off-line while we upgrade the database functionality.
Thanks to many volunteers, we now have nearly two decades (1990-2007) of burial information on-line and searchable. Please contact us if you need immediate information about someone buried and you know the date of the death.
The film Hart Island: An American Cemetery is available for viewing on-line and at Amazon.
You can help by volunteering or through tax deductible donations to The Hart Island Project, artist Melinda Hunt are accepted at New York Foundation for the Arts.
Melinda, can you get in touch with me? I am a reporter at CityLimits.org, a public policy publication for NYC. I went to Hart Island thursday with members of Picture the Homeless for their bimonthly memorial service. I'm wondering of you have pictures of the island that we could use/buy. Please be in touch at eileen@citylimits.org. Thank you. Eileen Markey (sunday3/21 6pm).
