Our collections are located in the South Carolina Historical Society Reading Room on the third floor of the College of Charleston’s Addlestone Library. They contain manuscripts, letters, journals, maps, drawings, photographs, and artifacts.
The South Carolina Historical Society Reading Room, located in the College of Charleston’s Addlestone Library, is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The Reading Room is closed from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.
*The Addlestone Library will be undergoing construction on the first floor. While the SCHS Archives reading room on the third floor of the library will not be affected, there may be some construction noise at various times through the summer. To combat this, researchers are welcome to bring their own noise canceling headphones or request earplugs at the reference desk.
