Historical Newspapers of South Carolina

The South Carolina Digital Newspaper Program (SCDNP) at the University of South Carolina Libraries, participated in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) from 2009 through 2015. NDNP is a national effort to preserve America's historical newspapers, made possible by generous grant funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and with support of the Library of Congress (LC).

As part of this program, the Digital Collections unit of the University Libraries digitized more than 100 historical South Carolina newspaper titles and contributed over 300,000 newspaper pages. These digitized newspapers are freely available and full text searchable at the Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers web site as well as now on this site
