The Delaware Heritage Collection is a digital repository sponsored by the Delaware Division of Libraries. As a member, DSU contributes scanned items from our archives to our own distinct collection within the site. These items are freely accessible from anywhere to anyone. This is a great place to start if you are looking for primary sources related to the university!
| Primary sources are materials created during a given historical period and offer an inside view of a particular event including the ideas, thoughts, and attitudes of the individuals, organizations, or governments involved. Primary sources record someone's actual experience and are the foundation for scholarly research. |
Secondary Sources use primary sources to answer research questions, solve problems, and interpret the past. The authors or creators of these sources were not present at the time of the event they seek to explain. |
