Over a century later, this journal remains the only scholarly periodical entirely devoted to the wide range of South Carolina history. Throughout its history, the Magazine has featured the finest interpretive articles, edited original documents, book reviews, manuscript reprints from the Society and other institutional collections, and descriptions of recent Society acquisitions.
