    1. Re: [CherokeeGeneCommunity] early South Carolina colonial records
    2. Joyce- Here are resources from the University of Florida. They have both microfilm and books. Nancy >>0<< Guidance for students undertaking research in Prof. Jon Sensbach's course AMH 3930: The Colonial South. For tips on searching the library catalog, see the first section below. Then look through the compilation of primary source material that follows it. I have put together an annotated list of primary documents that deal with the American colonies before and during the Revolution. All these materials are available from the U.F. Library. They are listed under four headings: (1) general primary sources or documentary collections on the colonial period; (2) regional information (mostly for the southern colonies), including runs of colonial newspapers held on microfilm; (3) primary sources about the American Revolution; and (4) selected papers and writings of the Founders. There are additional materials (not listed) concerning the early American republic and the early history of the thirteen states (plus the territories and neighboring borderlands). Note: Due to the closing of the Main Library, I have given you the most up-to-date information I have on the current location of materials. At least some of the microfilm sets must be requested from off-campus storage. Others will be on-hand in Special Collections.
