THREATENED BUILDINGS SURVEYS IN DELAWARE
Between the 1990s and early 2000s, CHAD documented threatened buildings in each of the three counties in Delaware.
Threatened buildings can include structures listed or eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and those that could likely yield significant information. These types of resources are considered threatened when their integrity appears to be compromised or lost.
Explore each of these individual resources of GIS story maps (below) prepared by former CHAD intern Andreanna Roros.
There is a separate story map for Delaware's three counties: New Castle, Kent and Sussex. You can also access a GIS map of all threatened buildings surveyed in Delaware, viewing which have been demolished and are still standing.

Discovering Delaware Sites of the Women’s Suffrage Movement
Just over 100 years ago, on June 4, 1919, the 19th Amendment was passed by Congress, allowing women the right to vote. It would take an additional 14 months to ratify the amendment (August 18, 1920), with Tennessee being the 36th state to do so.
Inspired by the Maryland Historical Trust's work on the topic, CHAD policy specialist Kimberly Showell created a GIS story map identifying key sites of women's suffrage in Delaware. The project, as initially conceived, hoped to nominate a site in Delaware to the National Register, as currently no sites recognize this important historical event.
However, very little material fabric survives on the landscape. Therefore, this map provides a critical digital preservation tool for recognizing important historical actors and events.
