New Electronic Exhibit !  Please visit our latest online exhibit, The Acerbic Pen: Editorial Cartoons from the Collections. Often providing biting commentary, editorial cartoons address issues ranging from local to international matters. These cartoons are of great value in illustrating key issues or events in our history and are among our most popular holdings.  The Acerbic Pen highlights material from the Walt Lardner and Kate Salley Palmer collections at SCPC.

Established in 1991, South Carolina Political Collections (SCPC) collects, preserves, and encourages research in private papers documenting South Carolinians and their government at the national and state levels in the post-World War II era. Our collections include records of South Carolina's leaders in Congress and the General Assembly, the state's political parties, and other individuals and organizations playing substantive roles in politics and government. Our oral history program supplements the collected documentary record.
