SUMMARY:SB: The Asylum Hill Cemetery Project
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Insane Asylum was established in Jackson in 1855 and operated in this location until 1935. During this period\, a cemetery was maintained on the asylum grounds in which several thousand deceased patients were interred.

This presentation provides an overview of the history of the asylum and describes a proposal to memorialize those buried in the Asylum Hill Cemetery in a manner that also creates a research and education resource. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDr. Ralph H. Didlake is associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and chief academic officer for the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He is also a professor of surgery and director of UMMC’s Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities.
