Project Updates
The SHPO's site files are open and available to researchers until further notice.
Cultural resource management reports are currently being boxed for transport to an off site scanning company.
Due to copyright issues SHPO will be unable to make available on this page the county highway maps as previously stated. For
specific previous survey coverage please check with the archeological reviewer for your project's county
Project Description
The CRIS Web-based Application Development Project began in January of 2008 as an application to the Federal Highway Administration
under the SAFETEA-LU Program. Under the categories of Historic Preservation and Archeological Planning & Research SHPO successfully
proposed to continue the Division of Historic Preservation's vision by replacing existing dissociated computer applications and
migrating legacy data into one enterprise-level geospatial application.
