The Commission’s holdings of historical material had grown to such an extent by 1984 that its quarters were placed in the old County Jail building, renovated for its use. This building is located in downtown Darlington, just off the Court House Square at 204 Hewitt Street.
The Commission’s holdings are limited to Darlington County related materials only, and include: official county and municipal records; church and school records and histories; business and industrial records; records of clubs and societies; compiled land records (correspondence, maps and plats); family records (correspondence, journals, diaries, etc.); photographs and newspapers.
