Subject: Research thru the SC Dept of Archives

I thought this info re the South Carolina Archives might be useful to
everyone out there who is looking for old land records, wills, etc.  The
State Archives have recently moved into a very nice new facility.

Reference Services

The Reference Services Branch operates the Reference Room and answers
queries.
Branch staff will answer questions about the records and provide specific
information from them if the amount of research time involved is
reasonable.
Staff will also check specified indexes for a specific name and fill a
photocopy
order for records in which the name appears. Staff cannot undertake
extensive
research or analyze records for questions of judgment; they can, however,
recommend sources for further research. On request, the branch will
provide the
names of people who are willing to do genealogical research for a fee. In
general, researchers with extensive or complicated projects will find it
more
profitable and enjoyable to do their own research. If you cannot come to
the
Archives, research questions can be sent by mail or through the Internet.
Please
see Genealogy Mail Service

Photocopies
Researchers can purchase photocopies of unpublished records and microfilm
of
scattered documents and can request microprints of unrestricted records
held by
other repositories. The Department will not reproduce published material,
however, and it cannot undertake extensive microfilming. The Department
reserves
the right to decide which process to use and whether or not it is
feasible to
copy particular documents. On request, the Department will provide a
photocopy
price list and a detailed statement of photocopy policy.

Genealogy Mail Service at the SC Archives
The South Carolina Department of Archives and History collects the
permanently
valuable state and county government records of South Carolina. For
genealogical
mail or Internet requests our reference staff will check the following
pertinent
sources if provided with the name of an individual, county and
approximate dates
of residence in South Carolina. Please limit index checks to one name per
request.

Land Records
Combined Alphabetical Index (colonial land records)
State Plats Combined Alphabetical Index 1784-1882
State Land Grants 1784-1870
Probate Records
South Carolina Will Transcripts 1671-1868
County Estate Files
Military Records
Audited Accounts for Revolutionary Services
Confederate Military Service and Pension Records

If information is found about the individual you seek, our staff will
provide
quotes for copies of up to ten records per request. Indexes and records
will be
quoted as they appear. We cannot verify identities, check the contents of
records, or attempt to determine parentage. Please send no money until you
receive an order form listing the cost of copies of materials located by
our
staff. When you return this form with payment, we will process your order.

Our agency maintains no family research files, nor does it collect
genealogies
or newspapers. For the most complete guide to this type of information
please
consult Richard N. Cote, Local and Family History in South Carolina: A
Bibliography (Greenville, S.C.: Southern Historical Press, 1981). Please
remember that the following counties suffered major losses of their
pre-Civil
War records: Abbeville, Beaufort, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Colleton,
Georgetown,
Lancaster, Lexington, Orangeburg, and Richland. A list of professional
genealogical researchers is available upon request.
