The mission of Archives and Special Collections is to collect, preserve, and provide access to archival and printed materials that support the research and instructional needs of students, faculty, national and international scholars, and the general public.
Archives and Special Collections collects books, theses, dissertations, and student papers about the Delaware.
The Delaware, known as Lenape or Lenni Lenape (People Who Are the Standard), settled along the Delaware River and its tributaries until the late 1600s and 1700s. Three dialects of Delaware were spoken, including Munsee.
