For over one hundred years, the South Carolina Historical Magazine has been the first source for scholarship on South Carolina history and culture for individuals and institutions around the world. Issued quarterly by the South Carolina Historical Society, the Magazine publishes refereed articles—both interpretive essays and edited primary documents—as well as solicited book reviews, book notes, and catalog records of the South Carolina Historical Society's recently processed manuscript collections. All scholars of South Carolina history are invited to submit original manuscripts for consideration regardless of topic, time period, or methodological approach; submissions are reviewed using the double-blind method by the Magazine's Editorial Board, a peer group of leading authorities on South Carolina history, and other experts. Prior to 1952, the South Carolina Historical Magazine was known as the South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine.
