In keeping with the provisions of Gov. Carney’s declaration of a state of emergency which went into effect on March 24, 2020, Delaware state agencies, including the Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs, remain open in order to serve the public during the difficult times arising from the coronavirus pandemic.
