Established in 1991, South Carolina Political Collections (SCPC) collects, preserves, and encourages research in private papers documenting South Carolinians and their government at the national and state levels in the post-World War II era. Our collections include records of South Carolina's leaders in Congress and the General Assembly, the state's political parties, and other individuals and organizations playing substantive roles in politics and government. Our oral history program supplements the collected documentary record.
