The Charleston County Public Library
The Charleston County Public Library is an especially rich resource for South Carolina history and genealogy research. The Charleston County Public Library possesses a large number of books, maps, manuscripts, and images covering a wide variety of local history and genealogical topics. These resources are divided into two separate departments:
The South Carolina Room houses a non-circulating collection of books, maps, microfilm, and other research materials.
The Special Collections department houses unique manuscripts and images, as well as rare books and other print materials.
Research: The Inside Scoop:
The South Carolina Room has microfiche and microfilm copies of some of the records at the South Carolina Historical Society and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. Their evening hours make it easy to keep your research momentum. Head over there when the other archives close to add a few more quality hours to your research trip!
