Submit-ready Maryland MIHP site forms
in minutes, not days
Maryland records sites in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (Archaeology), served through Medusa; a Basic Data Form is completed for all sites with Historic, Prehistoric, or Shipwreck Data Forms for components. FieldTap Report Builder turns that package into a one-time setup.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. Maryland's is Maryland MIHP site forms — a fixed PDF layout MHT 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 MHT PDF for the life of your firm.

What MHT reviewers expect
- A Basic Data Form is required for all sites, with the correct supplemental form (Historic, Prehistoric, or Shipwreck) attached — FieldTap routes records to the right form automatically.
- Forms are submitted to the MHT Archaeological Registrar and indexed in Medusa/MIHP — FieldTap exports records ready for that submission.
- 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 Maryland CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
Maryland SHPO FAQ
Does FieldTap handle the Basic plus supplemental forms?
Yes. One record produces the Basic Data Form and the correct prehistoric, historic, or shipwreck data form together — you never assemble the package by hand.
Can we map a custom Maryland form?
Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including internal QA forms.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Recording, GPS, and photos run fully offline. Sync and export require connectivity.
What about GIS deliverables?
Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV come from the same record as the PDF, so coordinates and attributes always agree.
Can our whole crew record to one project?
Yes. FieldTap supports role-based team review before submission.
