South Carolina Research

2009, the year to examine state resources, continues with South Carolina. The most comprehensive state censuses taken in South Carolina are from 1869 and 1875, although even these censuses are not complete. Check PERSI, an electronic resource available through the Cuyahoga County Public Library system for published censuses. Federal internal revenue assessment lists, 1864–1866 are also available. The largest newspaper collection in the state can be found at the South Caroliniana Library, http://www.sc.edu/library/socar/.
