SC State Library Digital Collections Website
The SC State Library has created a set of online projects that provide greater access to the State Library's unique historical resources and new digital projects. The South Carolina State Documents Depository is an online library of both current and historical publications written by state agencies and state-supported academic institutions. These publications provide citizens with crucial information about state government, including statistics, annual accountability reports, and data on a wide variety of topics related to the state.
Publications of historical value and interest such as the directories of schools published by the State Department of Education from 1912 through 2010 and the inaugural addresses of 19 South Carolina governors are among the items that can now be viewed online. Links to the SC State Library Digital Collections website can be found on ABBEweb's A to Z Listing of Databases and History pages
