Abstract

This article discusses the transfer of the archives of the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx section of New York City to the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library of Columbia University. The records of the 144-year-old cemetery contain documents pertaining to the burials of Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Herman Melville, Joseph Pulitzer, and many others. Many of the monuments and mausoleums resemble those of ancient royals of Rome, Egypt, and Greece.
