Dating back to 1670, Charleston was the first English settlement to be established south of Virginia. Today, Charleston has the largest concentration of pre-Revolutionary homes in the country. These stand alongside the stately mansions of the antebellum period and together they represent the finest architecture of the past—Adamesque, Neoclassical, Charleston Single house, Greek Revival, Roman Ionic, Gothic Revival and Italianate. Living in conjunction with fabled history, you will discover many five-star restaurants, excellent performing arts and a lively nightlife. Voted the Best City in the World by Travel + Leisure, nowhere else can you find a lifestyle so beautifully preserved. MOUNT PLEASANT To the east of downtown Charleston, across the Ravenel Bridge, lies the thriving coastal town of Mount Pleasant. With a population of approximately 86,000 (USCB), this town is a dynamic community committed to progress and economic development. The Old Village of Mount Pleasant is a National Historic District consisting of gracious antebellum homes, and oering a breathtaking view of the Charleston Harbor and historical Fort Sumter. Marshes, creeks and rivers oer both recreational and scenic enjoyment. Popular Shem Creek is lined with fishing charter yachts, seafood restaurants and shrimping trawlers. Mount Pleasant’s history, natural beauty and friendly citizens make this town a wonderful destination for a lifetime of quality living. ISLE OF PALMS The Isle of Palms, with its seven miles of wide, pristine beach, is a wonderfully attractive place to call home, as well as a popular vacation destination. The Island’s summer season temperature averages 74 degrees from April to October. The Isle of Palms, a completely self-contained city, was incorporated in 1953 and has its own Public Works Department. This area is home to the famous Wild Dunes Resort, which boasts not only year-round homes and fabulous vacation rentals, but also has two magnificent 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Tom Fazio. Its Ocean Course is ranked among the “World’s Greatest 100” by Golf Magazine. Tennis is also available in the Dunes “Top 50” tennis center, as well as municipal courts. SULLIVAN’S ISLAND To the south of Isle of Palms, lies Sullivan’s Island, home of Historic Fort Moultrie, site of the largest sea battle of the Revolutionary War. This attractive sea island community has maintained the heart of a small town. With its uncrowded, pristine beaches, award-winning elementary school, unique historic feel and emphasis on family and community, Sullivan’s Island is an ideal place for one to call home. DANIEL ISLAND Established in 1995, Daniel Island is the area’s newest town and is quickly becoming an old favorite. Surrounded by rivers and creeks, this area is very family friendly with tree-lined streets, several parks and a quaint downtown. All the necessities of life, schools, shopping and restaurants are close by. Along with a wonderful appeal for homeowners, the island has become home to several corporate headquarters and plays host to the WTA tennis tournament each spring. WEST ASHLEY To the west of the Charleston Peninsula, and bordered by the Ashley and Stono Rivers and Intracoastal Waterway, lies the suburb of West Ashley. Charles Towne Landing, the first English settlement in South Carolina founded in 1670, is located here. West Ashley is also home to three magnificent plantations: Drayton Hall, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, America’s oldest garden (c. 1685) and Middleton Place. While West Ashley is easily accessible to downtown Charleston, and boasts a variety of restaurants, shops and businesses all its own, it still manages to retain an elegant Old South image. JAMES ISLAND James Island is a large sea island framed by Wappoo Creek and Charleston Harbor to the north, Morris Island and Folly Beach to the east, and the Stono River

    Note: Names of contact people may have changed. A GUIDE TO CHARLESTON AREA ARCHIVES, LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS “More than forty miles of shelves…” by Donald Macbeth, ca. 1906 Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Online Catalog http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2014650185/ 5th Edition 2015 CALM Directory 2015 The Charleston Archives, Libraries and Museums Council (CALM) was organized in 1985 with the goal to start cooperative disaster preparedness planning. David Moltke-Hansen (at that time Director of the South Carolina Historical Society) coordinated 22 local cultural organizations into a group that could provide mutual assistance after storms or other disasters. The organization helped foster communication, local efforts of recovery, sharing of resources and expertise. CALM helped agencies, organizations, and institutions write disaster plans; sponsored workshops; and in general, raised consciousness about preservation and disaster preparedness and recovery needs. The statewide Palmetto Archives, Libraries and Museums Council on Preservation (PALMCOP) was then formed in Columbia in 1986 based on the successful model of CALM. CALM now provides an opportunity for participants in the archives, library, museum and records communities to interact in a supportive environment for the exchange of ideas and information. In 2001, CALM members created the Guide to Charleston Area Archives, Libraries and Museums to assist librarians, archivists, curators, and records managers in knowing “who has what,” and also to assist local researchers and scholars in their educational and academic pursuits. It was updated in 2004, 2008, and 2011, however, significant staffing and other changes have occurred in the last four years and this 5th edition reflects those changes.

Charming Charleston: Elite Construction of an Idealized History in Twentieth- Century Tourism Abstract An innocuous tourist pamphlet? The hyperbolic claim of a self-important city? Or the relics of slavery-era paternalism and nostalgia in a twentieth century Southern city dominated by an elite class obsessed with heritage. The associations that leap from this pamphlet, published and widely distributed in the 1930s and 1940s advertising Charleston as a tourist destination for those seeking the aesthetic and historic, raise illuminating questions about the nature of tourism in Charleston. The artist could have chosen anybody to hold the door open to the incoming public, but he chose an elderly black gentleman, grasping the gate with a huge grin on his face, having taken his hat off, and with a slightly bowed posture. Inside the gate, the luscious gardens and blooming azaleas beckon, along with the steeples of the city’s churches in the distance.

The higher part of the promenade, paralleling East Battery, as the street is known south of Water Street, to the intersection of Murray Boulevard, is known as High Battery.
