The Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina, established in 1994, is dedicated to studying, preserving, and raising awareness of the history and culture of the Jewish community in South Carolina. Originally focused on documenting small-town Jewish life, the Society has expanded its efforts to include conferences, publications, and the preservation of Jewish burial grounds and merchant history across the state.
Under the umbrella of the Jewish Heritage Collection at the College of Charleston, the Society has amassed over 500 oral histories, along with manuscripts and family archives, to further support its mission of safeguarding the unique Jewish heritage of South Carolina. Through virtual programs and membership opportunities, the Society invites individuals to join in preserving and celebrating this rich cultural legacy.
