About the company
The Historical Society Of Delaware, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Wilmington, Delaware, is a federal grant recipient focused on museum exhibition development, oral history collection, and digital educational resource creation for the humanities. The organization operates exclusively as a prime recipient—no contract work, no subcontract relationships—across four federal grant-making agencies. All six awards in the source footprint are project grants ranging from $25,000 to $122,390.
The Historical Society's customer base divides evenly between the Institute of Museum and Library Services (two awards) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (two awards), with single awards from the National Archives and Records Administration and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. Recent work centers on curatorial and public-education initiatives grounded in the organization's three-million-item collection. In September 2026, IMLS funded a project-grant award for the Mitchell Center for African American Heritage to develop an exhibition and oral history initiative focused on Louis L. Redding's legal advocacy for equal access to public education; the project includes collection research, exhibition development, K-12 educational resource creation, and a dedicated oral history archive with public access, running through August 2027. In August 2026, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a $25,000 project grant to develop and install a new exhibit titled "Objects, Ideals, and Delaware's Unfinished Revolution," covering 19 cases in the Delaware History Museum's second-floor gallery and centered on how American Revolutionary ideals have evolved over 250 years. An earlier November 2021 IMLS grant of $122,390 established Delaware History Online, a virtual educational platform that delivered COVID Chronicles Delaware (a community-authored pandemic journal), museum video tours with K-6 lesson plans, and a digitized Collecting Wilmington exhibition, aimed at 30,000 educational users and 28,000 video views.
Activity is sparse and episodic—one award every several years between 2010 and 2024, then two awards in 2026. Two awards (combined completion value not quantified in source) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the full extent of near-term recompete exposure.
