The South Carolina Digital State Documents Depository provides access to state agencies' publications. 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. The November 2020 list of new South Carolina State Documents is now available.

This month we highlight the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office's Preservation Hotline. The State Historic Preservation Office at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History has developed these short publications about common issues relating to preservation in South Carolina. These handouts answer frequently asked questions and have information on topics ranging from listing a property in the National Register to selecting consultants for preservation projects. This month's featured document is Preservation Hotline #8, which features information about how to trace the history of an historic building. For more information about our online documents depository, visit our online guide.

Join us at the next installment of the Speaker at the Center with Author Patricia Brandon where she will discuss her historical fiction novel, "Rise of the Pale Moon." Set against the backdrop of the Revolutionary War era in coastal South Carolina, Rise of the Pale Moon weaves a compelling tale of three young women from distinct backgrounds: an indentured servant from London, a chattel slave raised on the Montague Hall plantation, and a Catawba Indian captured by the Cherokee and traded into slavery.
