GPS and GIS Training

Cultural Resources GIS (CRGIS) staff have been teaching focused courses in GIS and GPS since 1995. We educate hundreds of students and professionals with a training focus on applying GIS to cultural resources management across the nation. Trainings may take place at National Park units, State Historic Preservation Offices, university campuses, local preservation organizations, and our home office in Washington, D.C.Our training includes but is not limited to:
  • GPS instruction training.
  • Data collection and data processing courses.
  • ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and/or other Esri based mobile app instruction.
  • Data, inventory, and/or resource management.
  • Disaster preparedness and resiliency training.
Additional training for National Park Service users on the NPS Cultural Resources Geospatial Dataset May be found on the National Cultural Resources GIS Dataset page.

Survey, Fieldwork, and Web Mapping Services

We offer a range of services from GPS field survey and mapping of historic sites to web application development and cartographic creation. As the demand for more data interactive interfaces grows, the need for place-based applications become invaluable. CRGIS offers services to collect, develop, create, and/or build custom databases and web mapping applications where information may be shared and explored by and for the public or internal entities.
