The South Carolina Civil and Human Rights Anthology contains eighteen oral history interviews conducted by the Avery Research Center. Participants discuss their family history and their involvement in organizing and activism work in South Carolina. Topics discussed include labor organizing and labor strikes, demonstrations during the Civil Rights Movement such as sit-ins and marches, voter registration and voter turnout efforts, the Orangeburg Massacre, and the nature of civil and human rights organizing following the Civil Rights Movement. More information about the contents of each oral history can be found in the file-level abstract for each interview.

The oral histories are arranged in two series according to the year the interview took place. Within each series, oral histories are arranged alphabetically by last name at the file-level. Transcripts do not currently exist for the oral histories in series 2. Oral History Interivews, 2007, and work to create them is ongoing.
