Pennsylvania Cultural Resources Geographic Information System (CRGIS)
Pennsylvania Cultural Resources Geographic Information System (CRGIS). Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office
Cultural Resources Geographic Information System (CRGIS) is a map-based inventory of the historic and archaeological sites and surveys stored in the files of the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) has been collecting information concerning archaeological sites and historic resources for the greater part of a century. Currently there are approximatley 23,000 archaeological sites and 130,000 historic properties in these files. Access to these paper records is free and open to the public by appointment at the SHPO office in Harrisburg. CRGIS is a means of accessing some of these data without a trip to Harrisburg. Funding was provided in part by Historic Preservation Fund grants administered by the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
