Links to Digital Collections You May Wish to View

From Serving South Carolina with MORE (South Carolina State Library’s newsletter), Winter 2011 issue, p. 7:

Public libraries, universities, historical organizations, and museums from around South Carolina have made available many unique historical collections for the public to view. And the Beaufort County Library is among that number!

Opening History: U.S. History Resources from Libraries, Museums, and Archives website maintains a list of digital collections in South Carolina by organization. Opening History is a project of the IMLS Digital Collections and Content (DCC) registry. Sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the DCC’s purpose is to bring together digital collections funded by IMLS National Library grants.

The State Library also maintains a list of digital collections in South Carolina at our South Carolina Library Network wiki.

Heads up: We’ll be adding another digital collection real soon….

Don't forget: The Beaufort District Collection Research Room will be closed Thurs., Nov. 24th and Fri., Nov. 25th for the Thanksgiving holidays. You can visit us on the web through our "Virtual BDC" offerings accessible through the Library's homepage at http:www.beaufortcountylibrary.org. Choose the "Local History" tab to gain access.
