A web-based application, the Cultural Resources Geographic Information System (CRGIS) allows Pennsylvania Department of Transportation officials to explore quickly and efficiently the effects of future road projects on historic properties. With detailed information and maps for tens of thousands of sites, districts, bridges, farmsteads, and other historically significant properties, CRGIS has improved information sharing among the state organizations and agencies that work to protect and preserve cultural resources.
