About this project:
Many Delawareans cherish historic buildings around them, but these are rapidly disappearing for development. We can save their memory with architectural drawings, photos and oral histories. UD's Center for Historic Architecture and Design trains students by hands-on experience. They preserve the past for our digital public archive while learning professional skills for the future.
Gifts to this project support field assistantships and provide general support for the Center for Historic Architecture and Design.
How your support makes a difference!
Your gift funds a student’s field assistantship, training them to document disappearing historic buildings. They’ll preserve the memory of Delaware’s built past in a public archive, help protect some resources from demolition and ensure history endures for future generations—bridging past and present while building skills for an inclusive preservation workforce.
