The People of Charleston and the Urban South, 1787-1901: Special Collections and Archives and DFAC

Greetings from Special Collections and Archives

Our materials are maintained separately from the general library collections due to their uniqueness, fragility, significance and format. With the exception of the book collections, these materials are organized, maintained and accessed differently from other library materials.

Please contact us by email or phone if you have questions.

Location and Hours

Hours: Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Please call (864) 294-2194 or e-mail Special Collections to schedule a visit.
We are a small department and we want to ensure that we have staff and materials available to meet your needs.  Plus it will save you time!

The department is located on the second floor of the James B. Duke Library.
