ICRIS
As required by the National Historic Preservation Act, the Idaho SHPO maintains a statewide inventory of historic properties through the Idaho Cultural Resources Information System (ICRIS). This system contains over 103,000 resources—including buildings, sites, districts, structures, objects, and archaeological sites—helping us preserve and understand Idaho’s heritage.
The ICRIS is the Idaho SHPO’s secure, web-based database and project management tool for cultural resources. It centralizes records of archaeological sites, historic buildings, districts, and other resources, supports Section 106 compliance review, and integrates mapping and GIS functions. ICRIS offers multiple levels of access allowing qualified users to search historic resources and submit projects. The general public can view unrestricted data through the guest portal which does not require registering for an account. A subscription enables additional features such as shapefile downloads and project tracking, and all registered user access requires a signed confidentiality agreement to protect sensitive information.
Before logging in, please review the ICRIS Access Policy.
Use ICRIS to submit Section 106 or 110 reviews, surveys, resource records, monitoring and annual reports, or to start new PA consultation.

Pro Benefits
ICRIS has built in functionality to streamline the Section 106 process and improve efficiency inside SHPO and for external users, including:
Work Flow: Basic account users will track submissions and projects via a link in system-generated email responses. Pro account users will have access to organization and individual work queues to manage projects and track project review progress.
Real-time access to SHPO data: No more record searches. All subscribers can use the ICRIS GIS to identify a project area, and immediately view the resources and projects within an APE. Great for project planning and preparing bids.
Printing and Exporting Data: Guests and Basic account users can print on-screen search results from a table or map. Pro account users can export/download search results tables and shapefiles for mapped resource and survey data.
Electronic Project Submission: All logged-in users can create a project, upload reports, and electronically submit projects with the click of a mouse.
ICRIS Field App: Available to Pro account users, the field app allows users to capture data on buildings, archaeological sites, and districts, in the field using mobile devices. Once back in the office, users can upload data directly into the ICRIS where they can review, manage, and edit the captured survey information.
Map Layers: All users can view historic resource map layers, and municipal and political boundaries layers. Pro account users have access to all ICRIS layers, which include:
• National Hydrography Database
• Idaho Geological Survey – Geology
• Idaho Geological Survey – Mining
• National Forest Boundaries
• BLM districts
• State Parks
• Idaho Transportation Dept. Districts
• Land Management
