I’m happy to introduce you to some of my colleagues who joined the SHPO team over the last six months. I’ve asked each of them to answer a few questions to help us get to know them. Welcome to the team, Blair, Liz, Arden, and Lauren!

As we welcome the new year, we also continue to welcome improvements to PA-SHARE as part of the 2.0 Project.
2024 saw several significant improvements to PA-SHARE, including the photo gallery, streamlining of the Quick Search, updates to External User queues, and enhanced functionality to allow for batch uploading and downloading of photos and attachments, to name a few. 2025 will include additional upgrades to PA-SHARE as we move towards finalizing 2.0.
(… Or is it?)
As 2024 winds down and all the social media platforms and streaming services summarize and wrap-up the year, the Pennsylvania Above Ground Survey (PAGS) program has the opportunity publish its BASELINE WRAPPED for 2020-2024.
Baseline Wrapped is going to summarize the changes in technology, highlight certain municipalities, provide some numbers, and even hint at what’s to come next..!
Archaeology at York’s Lebanon Cemetery
Two years ago, the Pennsylvania Archaeological Council (PAC) teamed up with Pennsylvania Hallowed Grounds (PAHG) to record Midland Cemtery in Swatara, PA . The goal of this pilot project was to document a cemetery using PAC’s membership and archaeological methods that could then be applied to other cemeteries with similar needs.
The PHMC Historical Marker Program is now accepting new marker nominations for 2025. Beginning November 15, 2024, those wanting to acknowledge Pennsylvania history will be able to submit a Historical Marker Nomination.
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.
October is Archaeology Month, so today let’s talk about a key part of identifying archaeological sites: geoarchaeology and geomorphology.
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.
Celebrating Preservation Success Stories with Community Initiative Awards
Earlier this week my Alexa reminded me that there are 100 days until the end of the year. After a moment of shock, my brain started its mental cataloguing of all the things that I have to do before December 31. Deadlines, appointments, holidays, the list goes on…
One reminder I’d like to put on your to-do list before the year is out is to tell us about a preservation success story in your community. Each year PA SHPO selects a few of these stories for a Community Initiative Award.
The practice of historic preservation is like a family heirloom, passed down from one generation to the next so that when you get tasked with the role of heirloom keeper, it reminds us to not forget about the past and look to how it has shaped the present.
