DHPA Qualified Professionals Roster

The following consultants have been determined to meet qualification standards for cultural resource management professionals as required by 36 CFR Part 61. The Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards define the minimum education and experience required to perform identification, evaluation, registration, and treatment activities for historic properties. In some cases, additional areas or levels of expertise may be needed, depending on the complexity of the task and the nature of the properties involved. The list has been compiled by the Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) as a convenience to members of the public.

DHPA reviews individual qualifications meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards, but the services listed below are self-reported by the qualified professional. Inclusion on this list does not constitute endorsement by the DHPA, nor is this list a guarantee that an individual has the specific project experience needed to meet the requirements for DHPA grant work. Furthermore, there may be other qualified consultants with whom the DHPA has not had contact that do not appear on the list. Please note that project costs may vary considerably between companies or individuals, and it is recommended that more than one estimate be obtained. Historic preservation consulting is a professional business, and it is recommended that you take the same care selecting a consultant as you would any contractor.

Individuals that meet the qualifications and wish to appear on this list should visit this page for information and application forms. There are five different applications: Archaeology, Historians, Architectural Historians, Architects, & Historic Architects.

This online list is updated quarterly and is alphabetized by the last name of the qualified professional. Our office will ask for confirmations of your information on an annual basis, but please reach out to SHAARDAdmin@dnr.IN.gov to notify changes.
