Reasearch

We invite you to investigate our Online Archive featuring local newspapers dating back to 1879 and Seaford High School Yearbooks from 1927 through 1988. We also have several Videos of local interest available online. Both resources are free, though donations are appreciated.

The Seaford Museum houses a library and research room with books, newspapers, and other printed material related to the history of our town. We have valuable resources for genealogy, local industry, and biography. 

Library and records access is by appointment only. Please call 302-629-9828 or email admin@seafordhistoricalsociety.com  to make arrangements. The use of the library is free, but donations are appreciated.
