DELAWARE OR AL HISTORY PROJECT AND THE LIPTON ARCHIVE The Institute has created the Delaware Corporate Law Resource Center, a website repository of oral histories of the seminal Delaware corporate cases and legislative developments since the 1967 general revision of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The website includes recorded interviews of many of the lawyers and judges who participated in those cases and developments and whose recollections are important to preserve, as well as documentary videos that piece together the interviews and case materials into a single narrative.

In addition, building on the success of the Delaware Corporate Law Resource Center, the Institute has unveiled a new affiliated website, “The Lipton Archive.” The Lipton Archive is a living corporate law and governance history site focusing on the thought leadership of Martin Lipton of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. The website offers a searchable index of Lipton’s iconic memos from their inception, as well as all of Lipton’s scholarly articles and a narrative of Lipton’s career and thought leadership. Together with the Delaware Corporate Law Resource Center, the Lipton Archive enables scholars, teachers, students, and practitioners to conduct research, collect source material for classroom, executive and legal education sessions, and deepen their understanding of the history and traditions of corporate governance. The website of the Delaware Corporate Law Resource Center can be found at www.law.upenn.edu/delawarecorporatehistory/. The Lipton Archive is available at www.theliptonarchive.org/.
