The Delaware Photographic Society was organized as the Delaware Camera Club January 31, 1931. The Society was formed to encourage and develop interest in photography. The objectives at that time were to get the best authorities to give lectures on photography; to have discussion groups within the membership to share knowledge, and to arrange an exhibition of photography in Wilmington.

The first Wilmington Salon of Photography was held on January 8, 1934, with 33 monochrome prints from 17 states, the District of Columbia and Hawaii. The DPS became a charter member of the Photographic Society of America (PSA) when it was founded later that year. It is one of the oldest exhibits continuously operated with PSA recognition. The salon was later renamed the Wilmington International Exhibition of Photography (WIEP) and now attracts thousands of entries in six categories from hundreds of photographers throughout the world. The annual planning, preparation and presentation require innumerable hours by DPS members.
