Submit-ready Delaware CRS site forms in minutes, not days

Delaware's SHPO (within the Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs) maintains the central archive of historic and archaeological resources, served through CHRIS (Cultural and Historical Resources Information System), with documentation ranging from a Cultural Resource Survey (CRS) form to detailed reports. FieldTap Report Builder turns the CRS form into a one-time setup.

Why state forms break every other tool

Every state has its own paper site form. Delaware's is Delaware CRS site forms — a fixed PDF layout Delaware SHPO 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.

What Delaware SHPO reviewers expect

  • Delaware's SHPO maintains the central archive served through CHRIS — FieldTap exports records ready for that submission.
  • Archaeological information in CHRIS is access-controlled for agencies and consultants — FieldTap keeps coordinates in your project, not a public layer.
  • 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 Delaware CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
