About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

In 2012, the final resting place of 67 free and enslaved African Americans working at the University of Virginia was discovered by an archaeological survey. The burial ground is on the north side of the stonewall of the University Cemetery and Columbarium. The cemetery was commemorated in October 2014.

"Enslaved African Americans were among the first recorded deaths within the Academical Village. Yet institutional records are silent on the identities where University servants were buried. Although the identities of the individuals who are buried here are not known, the following represents a partial list of free and enslaved African Americans who died while living and working at the University of Virginia through 1865."
