The mission of the Delaware Public Archives is three-fold:

1. to identify, collect, and preserve public records of enduring historical and evidential value;


2. to ensure access to public records for present and future generations of Delawareans; and


3. to advise and educate in the creation, management, use, and preservation of public records

The Archives holds more than 40,000 cubic feet of government records and historical documents. You are cordially invited to make use of these valuable historical resources and explore Delaware's past, from early settlement to recent times.

The Archives also presents public programs and exhibitions.
