DOVER, Del. — The Delaware Public Archives is showcasing a unique side of the state’s past with its new digital exhibit titled Unusual Treasures. Running from June through August, the exhibit features over two dozen fascinating items that go beyond traditional records. Highlights include an 1821 tax law targeting bachelors, braille-embossed maps, and a Revolutionary War privateer’s license, among other intriguing documents. Each item was carefully selected by Archives staff to represent the variety and depth of Delaware’s archival collection. The exhibit is displayed digitally in the Archives lobby and is supported by a free booklet with photos and descriptions, available both onsite and online at archives.delaware.gov.
