Waterhouse Symbolism began in July 2006 and the purpose is to research and document symbols, locally, regionally, nationally and internationally and to actively share that information. Many historic cemeteries, museums and individuals contact Waterhouse Symbolism to inquire about interpretation and historical significance of symbols. Since its founding in 2006, the organization has accomplished the following:

Published “Sacred Symbols of Atlanta’s Oakland Cemetery: A Guide to Many Sacred Symbols of Atlanta’s Oldest Public Cemetery” based on a tour began in 2000.

Publish monthly e-newsletter (“Waterhouse Symbolism”) sent to numerous Oakland Cemetery volunteer guides, the Association for Gravestone Studies’ members and other individuals (current 	distribution list is over 500). Symbols spotlighted in that publication include angels, books, crosses, cats, dogs, harps/lyres, hourglasses, lambs, lions, obelisks, owls, roses, serpents/snakes, stars, trees/tree stumps, wheat and wreaths.
