Sandlapper: the Magazine of South Carolina goes digital




Sandlapper: The Magazine of South Carolina was established in 1968 by the Lexington lawyer Robert P. Wilkins, Sr. and his wife Rose. Wilkins promoted the state’s beauty, citizens, and history through the magazine. The final issue of the magazine was Winter 2011/Spring 2012, and Robert P. Wilkins, Sr. passed away in 2013. Sandlapper used a variety of South Carolina photographers and writers to showcase the best of the state. Columns about restaurants, bed-and-breakfasts, and recipes are included with articles about towns, counties, history, and trends.

The Beaufort District Collection holds bound issues from 1968-1982; 1990 - 2005; and 2010 - 2011. We also have a copy of the Sandlapper Index, 1968-1972 by John Robert Young (Orangeburg County Library, 1997) that can help you locate specific articles seek. Visit us during our regular hours of operation to explore all that this magazine offers.
