The Delray Beach Historical Society is a community-focused organization founded in 1964 to collect, preserve, and share the history of Delray Beach, Florida. Its work helps people understand the area’s diverse past and the experiences of those who shaped its communities. The society maintains a city archive containing more than 65,000 artifacts, records, textiles, and oral histories, and offers free archive research by appointment.

Visitors can explore history exhibits and a heritage garden, while families, schools, and other groups can take part in tours, educational programs, and contemporary themed events. The organization also shares local stories through its blog and the Delray Beach Historical Backroads docuseries. Its campus and public programs bring generations together and support stewardship of local heritage.
