Delaware County Historic & Preservation Network

The Delaware County Historic & Preservation Network (DCHPN) is an excellent resource for connecting with historic organizations. The Network was created after the publication of the Delaware County Public History and Feasibility Study, which recognized a need for greater coordination between the County’s varied historic organizations. A historic preservation listserv was also created to communicate events and post questions, which anyone is welcome to join.

Throughout the year, the Network hosts lectures to provide technical assistance on a variety of topics, which are announced on the listserv. The Network uses the Public History Study as a guide on lecture topics and on what other projects they should pursue.

A website is also available with a blog, events calendar, useful links and a forum.
