The African American Cemeteries of Petersburg, Virginia: Continuity and Change (1999). Although this study does not focus on any single cemetery, we include it here because it provides essential historical context for understanding African American burial traditions, cemetery development, and preservation issues in Petersburg as a whole. Prepared by the Chicora Foundation for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the 199-page report surveys multiple historic African American burial grounds, documents grave marker types and layout patterns, and examines how social and community changes shaped these sacred spaces over time. Download the full PDF report (DW-034).
Please note that some cemeteries now located within the independent city of Petersburg are included in this index. Historically, these areas were part of Dinwiddie County before the establishment of Petersburg as an independent city in 1850. Therefore, for comprehensive genealogical research, cemeteries in both Dinwiddie County and Petersburg are considered relevant.
