One of the elements that make the DRC a vibrant center of research is its frequent hosting of visiting scholars. Researchers from around the world travel to the DRC to interact with our faculty researchers and graduate students, and to utilize the E. L. Quarantelli Resource Collection.
The Resource Collection not only provides a unique and vast collection of information to visiting scholars but also benefits from their direct contributions of material. To schedule a visit to the Center or the Resource Collection or to speak to the Collection Coordinator, please email elq-resource@udel.edu.
Short-term Visitors & General Inquiries
The Center and the E.L. Quarantelli Collection are open Monday – Friday. For general inquiries, please contact us at drc-mail@udel.edu or 302-831-6618.
Apply to be a DRC Visiting Scholar
DRC often receives dozens of requests from students and faculty applying as part of the China Scholarship Council program. To ensure that DRC is accessible to scholars from a broad range of countries, those applying from China for stays over (2) months in duration should apply by October 15th the year prior to the proposed visit.
Long-term visiting scholars can receive a University of Delaware ID card for access to Morris Library (the University’s main library on campus), computers, the internet, and parking.
