Membership

In order to carry out its mission of collecting, preserving, and publishing the state's history, the South Carolina Historical Society relies on the support of its members. All that is required for membership is an interest in South Carolina history. Members come from every walk of life, from all fifty states, and more than a dozen countries. Society members enjoy a variety of programs and benefits, including:

• Free research privileges in the Society's collections
  
  
• A subscription to the Society's two award-winning periodicals, Carologue and the South Carolina Historical Magazine. Carologue, the quarterly general-interest magazine, offers articles and photographs about South Carolina history, genealogy, preservation, and Society news and events. The scholarly quarterly, the South Carolina Historical Magazine, has been published since 1900, with articles on every period of our history and every corner of our state, plus book reviews and descriptions of recent manuscript acquisitions.
  
  
• Invitations to Society-sponsored lectures, tours, and social functions. Events include the annual Fall Tour of historic homes rarely opened to the public, the Society's annual meeting and luncheon, as well as other events incorporating the rich history of our state. (For events that are open to the public, Society members have priority status.)
  

• NEW! Through a partnership with the Blue and Gray Educational Society, SCHS members may register for BGES tours at BGES member rates. The Blue and Gray Education Society will make a donation to the SCHS each time a Historical Society member attends a BGES tour.
