Our digital collection now houses 100 editions of the South Carolina Wildlife Magazine. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources publishes the magazine to educate the public about ways to conserve, protect, and preserve our state’s natural resources. Readers may enjoy conservation success stories, heartwarming reflections, humorous tales, intriguing field notes, delectable recipes, and awe-inspiring outdoor adventures. We add additional volumes monthly.
The State Library will be supporting the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum's American Revolution Day. More American Revolution battles/skirmishes were fought in South Carolina than in any other state. Everyone has something to learn from the conflict that founded our country; the Relic Room’s full day of programs will offer something for everyone. Spend a day immersed in history and bring the youngsters!
