The Oak Hill Memorial Association was founded in 1913 to preserve and maintain the monuments, grounds, and archived records of Birmingham's Oak Hill Cemetery. In 2001 the Association expanded its mission to include education and public awareness of the site's historical importance. It began sponsoring an annual "Heritage Day" to invite families and friends of those interred to visit the cemetery for a celebration of shared heritage and to join in with preservation and landscaping projects.
Also in 2001, the Association adopted a new logo, the silhouette of a statue of an angel that was vandalized during the preceding year.
The Association's offices are loated at 1120 19th Street North, at the cemetery's southeast corner. The director, and editor of the Association's quarterly newsletter, The Pioneer, is Stuart Oates. The board is made up of James W. Porter II, Frank Young, Mark Lewis, and Lawrence Greer.
