Mission: |

To
digitally capture Delmarva traditions for the purpose of
preserving, protecting and promoting the region’s rich social,
cultural and historical legacy.
This ongoing project will create viewable products for public
broadcast through Public Access television, the internet, and
future technologies. The project will also create an archive of
digitally recorded material, before Delmarva traditions are
forgotten.
