These online collections create greater access to the State Library's unique historical resources and new digital projects. 

The South Carolina State Documents Depository is an online library of both current and historical publications written by state agencies and state-supported academic institutions.  These publications provide citizens with crucial information about  state government, including statistics, annual accountability reports, and data on a wide variety of topics related to the state.
