Submit-ready Virginia DHR site records
in minutes, not days
Virginia's Department of Historic Resources (DHR) maintains its inventory of more than 40,000 archaeological sites through V-CRIS (Virginia Cultural Resource Information System), where qualified users record sites and properties. FieldTap Report Builder keeps your field records organized and export-ready for that system.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. Virginia's is Virginia DHR site records — a fixed PDF layout Virginia DHR 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 Virginia DHR PDF for the life of your firm.

What Virginia DHR reviewers expect
- Site records flow into V-CRIS; FieldTap produces the populated forms and GIS data that data entry needs, so you're not re-keying field notes.
- Detailed archaeological location data is provided on a need-to-know basis — FieldTap keeps coordinates in your project, not a public layer.
- Coordinates must agree across the record, location map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most Virginia CRM fieldwork; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
Virginia SHPO FAQ
How does FieldTap fit Virginia's V-CRIS workflow?
FieldTap is where you record sites in the field. Every record carries location, attributes, and GPS-tagged photos, organized and exportable, so entering V-CRIS and assembling your report is fast instead of a re-keying exercise.
Can we map a Virginia site form PDF?
Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including DHR forms and 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 to DHR.
