About Us

Welcome to the City of Charleston Records Management Division blog! Here, we write about Charleston's history using our collections and share our passion for preserving it! Please visit the official City of Charleston Records Management division webpage to learn more about City records and to view our research guides and finding aids.

Our staff of records specialists preserve, digitize, organize, and research the records of the City of Charleston. We also respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and historical research questions [learn more about FOIA and make a request here].

We are also members of the Charleston Archives Libraries and Museums Council (CALM). This coalition of information professionals meets to discuss trends and issues in the field and in the local community, further our expertise through collaboration, and to advocate for archives and libraries.
