Submit-ready Pennsylvania PASS site records
in minutes, not days
Pennsylvania records sites in the Pennsylvania Archaeological Site Survey (PASS), the statewide inventory of 25,000+ sites; since February 2021 all sites must be submitted to the PA SHPO through PA-SHARE. FieldTap keeps your field records organized and export-ready to feed that system.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. Pennsylvania's is Pennsylvania PASS site records — a fixed PDF layout PA 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.
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 PA SHPO PDF for the life of your firm.

What PA SHPO reviewers expect
- Since February 2021 all archaeological sites must be submitted to PA SHPO through PA-SHARE; the legacy PASS and collector PDFs are retired — FieldTap keeps your records ready for online entry.
- PASS is the statewide inventory served alongside CRGIS — FieldTap keeps coordinates in your project, not a public layer.
- Coordinates must agree across the record, map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Pennsylvania CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
Pennsylvania SHPO FAQ
How does FieldTap fit Pennsylvania's PA-SHARE workflow?
FieldTap is where you record sites in the field. Because PA requires submission through PA-SHARE, FieldTap's clean, exportable records — location, attributes, GPS-tagged photos — make that online entry fast instead of a re-keying exercise.
Can we map a Pennsylvania site form PDF?
Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including internal QA forms, and populates them from the same records.
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.
