How the institution preserves and maintains the traditions weaves a tapestry that, in time, becomes the institution's history.

Imagine opening a seventy-year-old time capsule and finding contents that tell the history of outdoor life in our state. This discovery is possible thanks to our partnership with South Carolina Wildlife magazine, a South Carolina Department of Natural Resources publication. The magazine staff collaborated with our librarians to digitize issues dating back to South Carolina Wildlife's inception in 1954. Issues through 1993 are available via the South Carolina Digital Library.
