The 1930-1943: Depression –Era Library History in South Carolina collection consists of photographs and documents from the archives of the SC State Library. These digital images highlight public libraries, bookmobiles, librarians, and patrons from around the state. Many photographs and documents relate to the federal Works Project Administration (WPA) Library Project in South Carolina, which provided statewide library services from 1935 to 1943.

Since 1911 the South Carolina State Department of Education has published a yearly directory of schools in the state that includes Department of Education staff information. Information catalogued in each issue is different; some issues also include additional school and district information, listings of private schools and colleges, statistics, and state educational organizations associations. These directories provide valuable information about the school buildings and educational leaders in a community.
