A rich but dusty archive of South Carolina history — newspapers published throughout the state from 1860 to 1922 — will become Web accessible through the S.C. Digital Newspaper Project, an initiative of University Libraries.
The project, funded with a two-year $350,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), will scan, enhance, and deliver to the Library of Congress an estimated 100,000 pages of selected S.C. newspaper titles. The resulting online archive will reflect major artistic, literary, religious, ethnic, cultural, economic, and political events in South Carolina and surrounding states.
