SC250 - August Feature

As part of Education Month and the South Carolina 250 (SC250) commemoration, this display explores how researchers use primary sources, artifacts, and library resources to study the American Revolution. Featuring materials related to the siege of Fort Motte, this exhibit highlights how archaeology and historical research help us better understand the people, places, and events of South Carolina’s Revolutionary era. Through rare books, state documents, and digital resources, the South Carolina State Library supports students, educators, and researchers in discovering and interpreting the past.
