Frequent readers of this blog understand that the special local history collection and archives unit of the Beaufort County Library provides some programs on its own as well as co-sponsors others on a one-time or recurrent basis through time. At present, the BDC is coordinating two local history series with other organizations on a regular and recurrent basis: Beaufort History Museum/Beaufort County Library local history series and the new "Historically Speaking" series with the Beaufort County Historical Society. Since August we have also held programs alone and in concert with the Beaufort Branch Library and will soon do one or more with the Pat Conroy Literary Center, Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission, Penn Center and St. Helena Branch Library. Some of our partners have reservation software; some of our partners do not; and the Beaufort District Collection does not. Thus, some of our programs
request registration, some
require registration and others are simply first come, first seated. In other words, be sure to read the details per each program in which you are interested.
Registration is required to attend lectures in the
Beaufort History Museum/Beaufort County Library local history series. Reservations often go quite quickly. If there are any no-shows the day of the lecture, Museum ushers seat stand-by customers at 5 minutes to lecture start time. Registration for "Guns of the Big Gun Shoot" with Dave Smoot opens Thursday, October 24th on the Beaufort History Museum website
http://www.beauforthistorymuseum.wildapricot.org/event-3552471.
Registration is requested to attend the
Author Book Talks with Jim Alberto, co-sponsored with the
Pat Conroy Literary Center. There are two sessions:
There is no reservation process at all for "Making Gullah: Reflections on Finding Gullah Folk in the American Imagination." We want everyone who is interested in Gullah culture to be able to attend this free lecture by Dr. Melissa Cooper. The BDC is happy to collaborate with the St. Helena Branch Library, Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission and Penn Center to bring this Author Book Talk to our community as part of
Penn Center's 37th Annual Heritage Days Festival. The Festival runs from November 7 - November 9, 2019. Dr. Cooper's lecture will be held at 2 pm on November 8th in the St. Helena Library's large meeting room. This lecture is a first come, first seated program.
We finish up BDC local history programs in late November with another "Historically Speaking" lecture in concert with the Beaufort County Historical Society.
"'Not Just Gossip:' Who Dwelt in Beaufort's Historic Houses?"

At present, the BDC has no programs scheduled for December 2019. That could change, of course, so be sure to check the Library's calendar
https://www.BeaufortCountyLibrary.org/calendar for program details and updates.
We hope that you take advantage of one or more of our upcoming programs to increase your understanding and appreciation of Beaufort District's long and storied history.
