The University of Delaware's College of Arts and Sciences will present Saturday Symposium: Documenting Delaware’s Historic Architecture and Heritage on Saturday, May 4. The program, which is open to the community, runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Memorial Hall.

During the 2018-19 academic year, UD marks its 275th anniversary. The program, created by the Center for Historic Architecture and Design, offers opportunities to learn about and reflect on how our area has evolved over that time: what has been lost, what has changed, what has been revived, and what has endured.
