A Tutorial on the State Historic Preservation Office’s Cultural Resource Information System

SHPO invites you to explore the Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS). This online resource provides individuals and communities with information and tools to support the preservation and revitalization of New York State’s rich heritage and culture. CRIS is an advanced Geographic Information System program that provides access to New York State’s vast historic and cultural resource databases and now digitized paper records. CRIS provides users with access to more than 1.5 million pages of digital images including, National Register documents, building and archaeological inventory forms, survey reports, and a wide variety of additional legacy data. In addition, the system serves as an interactive portal for agencies, municipalities and others who use historic preservation programs, such as the State and Federal Income Tax Credits for Historic Properties, the State and National Registers of Historic Places Programs, the Sections 14.09 (NYSPRHPL) and 106 (NHPA) review processes, the Certified Local Government Program and building and archaeological survey programs.
