Richland County indexes and more

We are currently undergoing renovations at Richland Library-Main and the Walker Local and Family History Center has been without a home for over a year.  While 90% of our print collection is in storage we have been focusing all our librarian energies on indexing, transcribing and digitizing new resources.

Some of our efforts are now available for your research.  In addition to our previous collections these new collections are available on the Richland Library digital collection homepage and include:

1. Yearbooks from Richland County High Schools (50 years old or older).

2. Books and Pamphlets:  these are items not digitized at other institutions including the store ledger for Eastover's S.W. McKenzie. The collection also includes our list of Richland County public domain books and pamphlets available at Internet Archive, Hathitrust, SC State Library, etc. with links.

3. Indexes-local history and genealogy: Includes the State Hospital cemetery survey, the complete Randolph cemetery listing with images and the 1868 voter registration index for Richland County.  Keep checking because more indexing is coming up!
