Are you interested in a career where you have the opportunity to work with a pro-active, dedicated team of preservationists, historians, and archaeologists? If so, consider joining the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), Preservation Support Division as the Pennsylvania Archaeological Site Survey (PASS) Coordinator.
This position allows you to utilize your experience as you oversee the Pennsylvania Archaeological Site Survey program (PASS). Our goal is to maintain the integrity of archaeological sites and survey information in the SHPO data management system (PA-SHARE) in order to assist the SHPO, other agencies, and the public in evaluating the archaeological resources within the Commonwealth.
Are you an archaeologist who would enjoy utilizing your experience to conduct a wide range of environmental review projects? If so, the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (PA SHPO) is eager to welcome a Historic Preservation Specialist with a discipline in archaeology to join the Environmental Review Division.

Is it even the end of a year if you don’t see at least a dozen “year in review” lists?
Site visits to the Commonwealth’s many communities and historic places are routine for most SHPO staffers and one of the best parts of our jobs.
I’m excited to share some exciting new improvements to PA-SHARE. If you’re keeping track, this is the fifth major round of improvements and bug fixes to PA-SHARE and Surveyor as part of our PA-SHARE 2.0 investment.
