| Dr. Allen Stokes |
Staff members at the South Caroliniana Library established this fund to honor long-time director of the library, Dr. Allen Stokes. It will recognize Stokes' ongoing work and contributions by providing for the acquisition and preservation of materials for the library's Manuscripts Division.
The effort to establish the fund was headed by Nicholas Meriwether, who is in charge of the library's Oral History Project. Regarding Stokes' contributions Meriwether said, "Dr. Stokes has done so much for the library and its staff over the years that we decided it would be most appropriate to honor him by establishing a library acquisitions fund in his name. The fund will be devoted to a cause dear to his heart: the manuscript collection. With his extensive knowledge of the library's manuscript collections as well as of the history of the state, he will be the ideal person to select materials to be purchased for the fund."
