A repository for links to various open data sets published by the Delaware Government Information Center and other Delaware agencies. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list; many agencies maintain large and open collections of data. There is also a large collection of state government RSS feeds which provide regular news and information updates. If you know of data sets that should be linked-to from this page, or if there are data sets you cannot find that we can help you with, please let us know.
