S.C. Archives Month at Historic Charleston Foundation's Margaretta Childs Archives
Since the theme of South Carolina Archives Month this year is Archives: Treasure Maps to the Past, here is a glimpse into the map collection at Historic Charleston Foundation’s Margaretta Childs Archives. These maps complement the core collection of property records, photographs, and architectural drawings that provide historical background, ownership information, and architectural information on many buildings in the historic district. The maps also assist researchers who are studying the history of Charleston and the vicinity.
