State Historic Preservation

What is HICRIS?

HICRIS is short for Hawaiʻi Cultural Resource Information System. This is a new web-based application that allows SHPD to effectively manage preservation projects and communicate with stakeholders statewide. It was launched on December 17, 2020.

How Does It Work?

HICRIS will be the way registered users submit projects for review to SHPD and use an interactive web map to view surveys and previously identified sites near their project areas. In addition to being the SHPD intake system, it will include SHPD’s library records, and GIS datasets. It will enhance communication with the appropriate SHPD staff. Due to the financial crisis facing the State of Hawaiʻi caused by the pandemic, when HICRIS goes on line, it is likely to be several years before the system will include all site data and records. Additional information and access and how to use HICRIS when it goes online can be found here: HICRIS Information.
