It's #LibraryShelfieDay and we've got not one, not two, not three, but IV ways to show off some of our library collections. From rare books to yearbooks, our research library has far more on its shelves and in its collections than initially meets the eye.

Making saving money fun is an age-old problem creatively solved here with this mechanical “Punch and Judy” puppet theater 'piggy' bank.

Our newest window display is a beautiful Chinese New Year installation by @caccdelaware! Visit to learn more about some of the Chinese customs & traditions surrounding this important holiday.

The theme for this year's National History Day in Delaware program is "Frontiers in History," but we might be taking it a bit too far with this coffee mug commemorating the "final frontier..."

This nostalgic scene by Delaware-born artist, Robert Shaw (1859-1912), features ice skaters on the Brandywine and helps to take some of the bleak out of mid-winter. Robert Shaw’s home state and its history was one of his favorite artistic subjects. The building depicted in this copperplate etching from 1890 was originally a barley mill built in 1728 that stood at the foot of what is now Adams Street in Wilmington. The building later became a Calico printers, and then a cotton and carding mill before it burned down in January 1857. This etching is part of a large collection of Robert Shaw artworks donated to the Delaware Historical Society in 1984 by the artist’s niece.

Heads up! Beginning on January 22nd, The Delaware History Museum and Jane and Littleton Mitchell Center for African American Heritage will no longer be open on Sundays. This change does not impact any Read House & Gardens hours. You can always find the most up-to-date hours on our social media pages and website.
