 USC Lancaster announces the
opening of its new Native American Archive, located
in the USCL Medford Library. Archivist Brent Burgin
has been working with noted Catawba scholar Thomas
Blumer and local Native American communities to acquire
and build the archive. “The archive is designed
to promote a better understanding of local and state
Native American history and culture and will support
the new USCL Native American Studies program," says
Burgin.
Burgin continues to seek documents dealing with Native
American tribes such as the Catawba, Peedee, Waccamaw,
Chickasaw, Cherokee, Santee, Edisto and Cheraw. “Our
collective focus is on South Carolina/North Carolina
and the greater southeastern area," says Burgin. ''I
want to collect the histories of these people and make
contact with them. I'd like our archive to grow.” For
more information contact Brent Burgin, Archivist at
803-313-7063 or USCLarch@mailbox.sc.edu.
