The Digitizing Delmarva Heritage & Traditions Collection is a collection of publicly-sourced videos on topics all around the Delmarva Peninsula. From the history of local small towns like Allen, MD, to locally-renowned recipes for chicken salad, this collection showcases much of what Delmarva culture has to offer.

PAC 14, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides 'PEG' or Public, Educational, and Government access television services, serving the Wicomico community since 1998. All materials presented by PAC-14 are non-profit and non-commerical. PAC-14 serves as a public "green space" for local residents to share about their community without commercial limitations, providing free training and equipment to residents who desire them. 

The 2008 Digitizing Delmarva Heritage & Traitions Collection contains a vast amount of video media on everything related to Delmarva culture. The mission of this collection was to digitize and archive a collection of materials to beviewable through public access television, the internet, or other future technologies. Each video varies from its topic and format including lectures, presentations, tours, interviews, and documentaries. Some of the topics include foodstuffs (recipes), maritime culture, historical building restoration (in the case of Pemberton Hall and Poplar Hill Mansion), colonial history of the Eastern Shore, the US Civil War, immigrant farmers on the Eastern Shore, local towns such as Allen (MD) and Sharptown (MD), and much, much more. Public Access Channel 14 (PAC-14) began this project in association with over a dozen local history organizations including the Edward H. Nabb Center, collecting dozens of videos (including the 60 in this collection) to be archived for future public viewing.
