The Memento Mori - 2010 issue of the Shades of the Departed Magazine is available for reading online at footnoteMaven's Shades of the Departed blog.
Wow. What a beautiful work of digital publication, filled with historic pictures lovingly displayed and captioned, in 110 pages.

The photographs are beautiful - what a wonderful collection of photographs about death and mourning. The articles are all excellent and on-point. I am partial to Penelope Dreadful - I love how Denise takes a photograph and writes a story around it.
By far the most useful article for researchers is Caroline Pointer's column about finding and using family records. Printing a specific article is difficult - you can choose up to two pages at a time.
footnoteMaven has submitted the Shades of the Departed Magazine to the Digital Magazine Award judges for consideration. I vote YES!!!!!!
