Tools for records, review, and follow-through.

Import and review inventory

Preview a CSV or JSON file, correct rows before you commit, and return to completed imports later. Imports of up to 5,000 rows.

Run preliminary review

Inspect imported records and their sources, run a preliminary review, record what needs follow-up, and reopen the review history. Review actions are records of work, not findings of affiliation or compliance.

Prepare internal drafts

Prepare a review summary, or a supported Notice of Inventory Completion or Notice of Intent to Repatriate draft, with supporting facts and a file manifest, for internal review. PAVA does not publish notices or submit them.

Keep Grant projects together

Compare reviewed funding references, draft with one of six writing packs, and carry your research into a saved project with revisions you can restore. Download Word, text, JSON, Markdown and a manifest.

Keep field-session notes

Save a location and notes for each field session while connected, then revisit and update them later. PAVA does not capture media, transcribe recordings or sync offline.

What to expect

Notice preparation supports specific draft types for internal review. Field sessions currently hold a location and notes for online work; they do not capture media, transcribe recordings, or provide an offline field workflow.

Clear responsibilities and scope

PAVA supports records and review. It does not determine cultural affiliation, provide legal advice, replace consultation, or authorize filing or repatriation. PAVA does not submit or send filings.

Workspace access

Workspace access is directly provisioned after scoping. There is no self-service registration. A demonstration can help identify the tools and permissions that fit your institution.

What we are building next

PAVA is being built toward a complete, hosted workspace for a small staff with a substantial inherited collection: from imperfect records to reviewed work, consultation, documents, funding and accountable follow-through, without re-entering the same information at each step. The items below are not available in the provisioned workspace today. Each item becomes available only after it is hosted, qualified and described here with its limits.

In development

Locally proven on synthetic data. Not yet hosted.

• Saved import mappings and dataset identity, with reconciliation of repeat imports.
• Matters that link records, attributed evidence, responsibility, next action and a target date.
• Team assignment and review with a retained history.
• Consultation preparation, history and recipient packets.
• Care, use and permission records.
• Reviewed inventory and summary document sets.

Planned direction

Not started.

• Requests, responses and notices as reviewed document sets.
• Transfer and closeout records that keep prepared, approved, submitted, published and received events distinct.
• Costed work plans connected to saved Grant projects.
• Management handoff and successor export.
• Attachments and scoped search.
• Official-source change review.
• NAAGU, Nation-side infrastructure with its own authority boundary. Not built, available or Nation-approved.
