Chicora's reports are routinely sent to a variety of institutions as part of
our efforts to make the information widely available to the general public. Of
course we do sell copies of our studies and for more information please check
out our Ordering page.
Our Research Series are available at a number
of institutions, including the South Carolina State Library, South Caroliniana
Library, S.C. Department of Archives and History Search Room, S.C. Institute of
Archaeology and Anthropology, the Library of Congress, College of Charleston
Library, South Carolina Historical Society, University of North Carolina-Chapel
Hill Library, University of Michigan Library, New York City Public Library,
Mississippi State University Library, Harvard University Library, Huntington
Free Library, Virginia Department of Historic Resources Library and the North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Archaeology Branch Library. Some
titles are also available at various public libraries in South Carolina (for
example the Charleston County and Beaufort County libraries have a number of our
publications that deal with their specific geographic areas). Some of
these institutions permit interlibrary loan of our reports -- check with your
local ILL librarian for additional information.
Our Research Series are all sent to the Library of Congress (since we
participate in the CIP program). Consequently, they will be easily found in OCLC,
WorldCat, and similar library title databases. Likewise, our Research Series
(and many of our other publications) are also added to the Bowker Books-In-Print
catalog, making it easy for local book dealers (and libraries) to locate our
publications.
Our Research Contributions are smaller reports,
generally of less interest, and so are sent to fewer institutions. They are,
however, available at the South Carolina State Library, the South Caroliniana
Library, and the S.C. Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology. Reports dealing
with other states are always sent to the SHPO of that state and some titles are
also available at various public libraries in South Carolina. Some of these
institutions permit interlibrary loan of our reports -- check with your local
ILL librarian for additional information.
Chicora is justifiably proud of our efforts to make certain that our research
is widely available to the public through a variety of sources. We are one of
the very few archaeological organizations that puts meaning in the term "public
archaeology."
We are working to convert many of our out of print
publications to Adobe Acrobat pdf format in order to make public access to
this information more convenient. You will need the free Adobe Reader to
have access to these reports. You may
download the reader.
