Throughout the year, the Beaufort District Collection brings in authors and speakers on a variety of topics meeting our mission to share information about the history, culture, and environment of our area. Because staff is working very hard preparing metadata for our "300 for the 300th" project with the Lowcountry Digital Library, we have no scheduled BDC@ The Branches programs during September.
To celebrate "Archives Month" in October, register to get a "Behind-the-Scenes Tour" of the BDC. Anyone over age 12 interested in learning more about the operations and preservation activities of the Beaufort District Collection is welcomed to attend. The program is free but registration is limited to 10 people per session. We have two sessions planned:
