The Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame was founded in 1976. Al Cartwright, who helped found it, was its first president,[1] as well as being inducted to its hall of fame in 1980.[2]
The Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame is a member of the International Sports Heritage Association.[3]
The Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame contains, among other things, the Izzy Katzman Sports Library.[4] Katzman was inducted into the hall of fame in 1993,[5] before the Izzy Katzman Sports Library, named after him, was created.[4]
