Surveys

Surveys provide information to SHPD reviewers and researchers about cultural resource investigations throughout the State of Hawaii.

In Search, the Surveys tab provides basic search fields as shown below. You do not need to fill all of them. If you enter search terms in multiple fields, only results that exactly match all of your search terms will be returned. Letters can be upper or lower case. In text fields, partial search terms are acceptable.

Click the Search button in the lower left corner to apply your search terms. The Results tab will display your search results. Click the View, Go To, or Zoom buttons next to a survey result to open a pop-up window about the Survey, go to the Survey Details page, or Zoom to the Survey polygon on the map.

•Survey Type: Select Above Ground or Archaeological, or leave the default value ’All’.
