A joint project of South Carolina Humanities, the University of South Carolina Press, the USC Libraries, the USC College of Arts & Sciences, the USC Institute for Southern Studies, the South Carolina State Library, and many other organizations, the digital South Carolina Encyclopedia<\/em> is a reference source of the people, places, events, things, achievements, and ideals that have contributed to the evolution of the Palmetto State. Consisting of almost 2000 entries with more than 1200 digital assets, the digital Encyclopedia<\/em> aspires to be an authoritative compilation of essays on topics ranging from politics to the arts, from Hilton Head to Caesars Head, from the Lords Proprietors to Hootie and the Blowfish. In short, we hope it will be the go-to reference for everything South Carolina.<\/p>\n The digital edition of the South Carolina Encyclopedia<\/em> builds on the 2006 print volume of the same name, edited by Dr. Walter B. Edgar and with articles by more than 600 authors. Working with our partner institutions, we have enhanced the print version by adding more than 1200 photos, videos, documents, and audio recordings. In addition to the entries from the print version, we work with the University of South Carolina Press to add new entries, though this process may take some time.<\/p>\n We hope you enjoy exploring the site. Feel free to reach out to our managing editor, Matthew Simmons, at simmonwm@mailbox.sc.edu with questions and suggestions.<\/p>\n The\u00a0South Carolina Encyclopedia<\/em> welcomes corrections of errors of fact in its entries. To suggest a correction, identify the specific error(s) with the title of the entry\/caption and provide at least one corroborating reference source. Corrections not supported by verifiable, reliable sources will not be incorporated unless we can validate the correction by other means. Please note that we cannot modify entries based on differing interpretations of the subject matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About A joint project of South Carolina Humanities, the University of South Carolina Press, the USC Libraries, the USC College of Arts & Sciences, the USC Institute for Southern Studies, the South Carolina State Library, and many other organizations, the digital South Carolina Encyclopedia is a reference source of the people, places, events, things, achievements, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":-1,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-426","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCorrection Policy<\/h2>\n
