Welcome to Delaware’s Cultural and Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS)!

- View National Register nominations and photographs
- See how places have changed through aerial photographs dating back to the 1930s
- See if buildings have been previously surveyed and digitally mapped in the system
- Review boundaries of surveyed areas and download associated survey reports
Not all information is public. Additional services are available to agencies and their consulting firms, through a password-protected webpage. To request a username and password, please submit a user account application through this link: CHRIS User Account Application.
