Online Catalog & Collections

In accordance with our General Access Policy, portions of the recent collections in the Archives (c.1951-present) are searchable via an online catalog.  Please note that the online catalog is NOT an exhaustive description of Archives' recent collections.  Feel free to contact Archives staff for assistance with your research request after review of our research procedures.

The Lowcountry Digital Library has digitized the Lynch Family letters, 1858-1866.  These letters to Patrick N. Lynch, Bishop of Charleston from 1858-1882, from his family touch on a variety of topics including Catholicism and convent life, the Civil War and slavery, and Southern life in the mid-19th century.  The original letters are viewable and keyword searchable at the Lowcountry Digital Library.
