Keep the records and review together.

PAVA — Provenance Audit, Viability of Action is repatriation compliance infrastructure for institutional NAGPRA work. Organize inventory, preliminary review, internal notice drafts, Grant projects, and online field notes in one workspace.

Keep the next step clear.

  • Import and review inventory: preview CSV or JSON records, correct validation issues, and revisit completed imports.
  • Run preliminary review: examine questions, prioritize follow-up, and retain previous review actions.
  • Prepare internal notice drafts: assemble supported Notice of Inventory Completion and Notice of Intent to Repatriate drafts with supporting facts for review.
  • Keep Grant projects together: compare opportunities, save research and drafts, and retain revisions.
  • Record online field notes: save locations and notes for field sessions, revisit them, and update them later.
