H-SC seeks to serve the community of scholars researching, preserving, teaching or learning about South Carolina history and culture. The network is a forum for reviews of books, announcements from archives, museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions about programming, research opportunities, research inquiries, public history, organizing conference panels, and discussion of significant themes on the Palmetto State.
CALL for PAPERS
I'm delighted to announce that my book, Charleston and the Emergence of Middle-Class Culture in the Revolutionary Era will be forthcoming from University of Georgia Press on October 10. Readers of this list might be particularly interested in the material on a forgotten post-Revolutionary economic boom that shaped attitudes towards trade in Charleston. More information is available here: http://www.ugapress.org/index.php/books/charleston_and_emergence/.
