http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70978619

Primary records of diocesan-level administrative bodies and activities include records of the Board of Missions (1877-1952), Board of Trustees (1880-1970), Consecration Committee (1960-1961), Division Committee (1920), Executive Council (1922-1941), and the Standing Committee (1892-1935), and the manuscript journals of the annual diocesan conventions (1785-1892). These materials consist primarily of correspondence, minutes, financial records, and reports. In addition, the records of the diocesan historiographers (1878-1962), primarily John Kershaw (d. 1921) and Albert Sidney Thomas (1873-1967), consist of research notes and drafts of church histories which formed the basis of Thomas's "A Historical Account of the Protestant Episcopal Church in South Carolina, 1820-1957" (published in 1957). Among the primary records of organizations, churches, and individuals associated with the Diocese of South Carolina are manuscript journals of the Society for the Advancement of Christianity in South Carolina (1810-1971), records of the extinct church at St. Paul's, Stono (1706-1864), manuscript sermons by Theodore Dehon (1776-1817) and Stiles Mellichamp (d. 1872), and minutes of the Church Women of Trinity Church, Edisto Island (1895-1972). The papers of Alexander Glennie (1804-1880) and Philip Gadsden (1798-1870) contain information relating to their ministry to slaves at All Saints, Waccamaw, and St. Paul's, Stono, respectively. Subject files include clippings, notes, and ephemera relating to nearly two hundred individuals, churches, and institutions associated with the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina.
