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. Members enjoy a variety of programs and benefits, including:

  • 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.
  • An invitation to Society-sponsored lectures, tours, and social functions. Functions include the annual spring and fall plantation tours featuring historic homes rarely opened to the public, the Society's annual meeting and luncheon, as well as other events incorporating the architectural and historic gems of our state.
  • Free research privileges in the Society's collections.
