Planning a Visiting Scholars Presentation

Step 1: Contact the scholar of your choice at least six weeks before the desired presentation date. Together, confirm a date and time. At least one month in advance of the presentation, please fill out and submit a Visiting Scholars Request Form (located here and at the end of the Visiting Scholars Catalog) for each visit. Please email, mail, or fax your request form to:

Delaware Humanities Forum
100 W. 10th Street, Suite 1009
Wilmington, DE 19801
FAX: 302-657-0655
info@dhf.org

Reservations are subject to the availability of funds. Requests received less than one month in advance cannot be processed.

Step 2: We encourage participation in a presentation by more than one class (with the scholar's permission during the planning phase). Please do not increase the number of participating classes on the day of the visit.

Step 3: When we process your request, we will send you a copy of the Grant Agreement. Please sign and return this form to indicate your acceptance. The DHF sends both Teacher and Student Evaluation Forms to copy for each presentation. Please send the completed forms to DHF promptly after the presentation. They provide valuable information for future programming.

Presentations are listed in the Visiting Scholars Catalog by grade level and then by topic (Arts, Culture & Society, or History) and sub-topic. Please be sure to review our entire listing of presentations - you may find your favorite presentation in an unexpected place! If there is something you are looking for and you cannot find it, call or email the office and we may be able to help (302-657-0650 or 800-752-2060 or info@dhf.org).

Our Visiting Scholars Catalog is available for download as a searchable PDF file. The Catalog includes instructions for requesting and hosting a talk, lists the programs we offer by grade level, and contains the speakers' contact information. The request form is included at the end of the PDF and is available here. The catalog is no longer available in print.
