About College of Charleston Repositories

Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture

The Avery Research Center’s mission is to collect, preserve, and promote the unique history and culture of the African diaspora, with an emphasis on Charleston, the South Carolina Lowcountry, and beyond. As a part of the College of Charleston’s Library system, the Avery Research Center’s archival collections, museum exhibitions, and public programming reflect these diverse populations as well as the wider African Diaspora.

Special Collections’ holdings include over 600 manuscript collections related to the history and culture of the South Carolina Lowcountry, the institutional records of the College of Charleston, and more than 40,000 rare books and pamphlets.
