Podcast

From the Vault: The SCHS Podcast

Our podcast, From the Vault, tells the history of our state and all of its people from the perspective of items that we hold in our archives at the Society. It brings the past to life with stories from our manuscript material, interviews with those who have used the collections in their research, and even tales of the daily events of a regiment during the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
