WHEREAS, the Division of Archives and Cultural Affairs was created by 57 Delaware Laws, Chapter 570 as part of the Office of the Secretary of State under the Reorganization of State Government; and
WHEREAS, that same 57 Delaware Laws, Chapter 570 conferred upon the Governor and the Secretary of State the power to establish, consolidate, or combine, divisions within the Department of State; and
WHEREAS, it has become desirable to expand the purview of responsibility of the present Division of Archives and Cultural Affairs to include a whole range of subjects related to Delaware history, and not simply archival matters; and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned Division will have increased responsibility for activities concerning the upcoming Bicentennial Celebration; and
WHEREAS, the name "Division of Archives and Cultural Affairs, appears inappropriate in light of the above; and
WHEREAS, the name "Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs" more aptly describes the activities and concerns of the Division.
Delaware, and with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, do hereby order that:
The name of .the Division of Archives and Cultural Affairs of the Department of State is hereby changed to "Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs."
