Two years ago, the Pennsylvania Archaeological Council (PAC) teamed up with Pennsylvania Hallowed Grounds (PAHG) to record Midland Cemtery in Swatara, PA .

In last week’s blog post, I reviewed some important information about the Determination of Eligibility (DOE) process in Pennsylvania. This included what a DOE is, how to figure out where to start if you’d like to have your property evaluated for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and a brief overview of SHPO’s review process.
This week’s post will cover how to complete the PA-SHARE submission, what kinds of information PA SHPO needs to evaluate a historic resource, and how to package that information.
