Description: "New York's City Cemetery on Hart Island occupies 101 acres in the Long Island Sound on the eastern edge of the Bronx. Since 1869, prison labor is used to bury unclaimed and unidentified New Yorkers in mass graves that are inaccessible to the public. On March 12, 2014, the New York City Council introduced legislation to create a public park where citizens could visit graves. In preparation, the Hart Island Project acquired new maps and added GPS data to our on-line database of burials. This information now accompanies tools for submitting stories and images of the buried. The collection is known as the Traveling Cloud Museum."
