I am also happy to make a correction in my interpretation of fact when evidence leaps up and hits me in the head. Dabbs Woodfin of Delaware County Historical Society informs me that DCHS has not sold any artifacts and so far as he knows has not even considered it. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania did indeed make such a move. Dabbs also wrote, "CCHS collections are well funded and accessible because the County has elected to contract with them to operate the archives. DelCo has chosen to manage its own and not to make them available, and of course, DCHS has no part in that." It is indeed unfortunate that Delaware County Court House has chosen to put barriers between the public and public records. Hopefully, this is an attitude that can be altered in the near future.
