Cemeteries

The Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina' s Statewide Cemetery Survey Project
Early in 2004, the Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina embarked on a survey of burial places of South Carolina Jews. The goal of the project is to learn, who is buried in each cemetery, collect biographical information on those individuals, and organize and archive the findings so they can be readily accessed by descendents, historians, and researchers. More information on project is available in The Jewish Historical society of South Caroline Newsletter.(PDF file)
