Closed most holidays. The Archivist of the Society is required to retain custody of the all official documents relating to the incorporation of the Society and to receive, house, and to make available to researchers all genealogical donations. One source of genealogical information of interest to researchers, is the large collection of newsletters housed in the S.C.G.S. Archives. Chapters of the S.C.G.S. are asked to put a copy of each newsletter published into our collection. These newsletters and journals contain a wide variety of genealogical abstracts from all areas of the state.
Most newsletters also contain queries from researchers interested in South Carolina genealogy.
A wide variety of published family histories are also available at the S.C.G.S. Archives. A budget was recently approved by the S.C.G.S. Board of Directors for the operation of the Archives. This budget will be used to better store and make available the various research materials in the S.C.G.S. Archives. Genealogical materials housed in the S.C.G.S. Archives are available during the hours the Hartsville Genealogical Research Library is open. The Research Library is closed most holidays.
