Submit-ready Alaska AHRS site forms
in minutes, not days
Alaska's SHPO sits within the Office of History and Archaeology (OHA), which maintains the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey (AHRS) — a repository of 45,000+ cultural resources. An AHRS Site Form is filled out for every reported site. FieldTap Report Builder turns that form into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. Alaska's is Alaska AHRS site forms — a fixed PDF layout Alaska OHA expects to receive exactly as published. Generic field tools give you two bad options: rebuild the form by hand in their form builder (and still retype results into the official PDF), or pay for a professional services engagement to digitize each form.
Either way, every revision the agency publishes restarts the cycle. CRM firms end up paying for software and still doing the typing.
Import once. Map once. Done forever.
Report Builder is the only feature on the market that lets a CRM firm digitize a state's official PDF form themselves — no professional-services bill, no rebuilding the form by hand. Map the fields once and every record auto-exports a submit-ready Alaska OHA PDF for the life of your firm.

What Alaska OHA reviewers expect
- An AHRS Site Form is filled out for every reported site, and required fields are mandatory — a firm may use its own document as long as required fields are present, which FieldTap enforces.
- AHRS numbers are assigned by OHA staff — FieldTap supports placeholder numbers swapped on export.
- Coordinates must agree across the form, map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Alaska CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
Alaska SHPO FAQ
Does FieldTap export the AHRS site form?
Yes. You import the AHRS Site Form once, map fields once, and every record exports a fully populated record with all required fields — no retyping.
Can we use our own AHRS submittal document?
Yes. AHRS allows firms to use their own documents as long as required fields are present; Report Builder accepts any PDF and FieldTap ensures the required fields are captured.
Does this work offline in remote Alaska?
Yes. Recording, GPS, and photos run fully offline — essential for backcountry survey. Sync and export require connectivity.
Does FieldTap handle AHRS numbering?
Yes. Crews record with placeholder numbers; once OHA assigns the AHRS number you update the record and exports refresh.
What about GIS deliverables?
Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV come from the same record as the PDF, so coordinates and attributes always agree.
