Preserving history is important

Now more than ever it is apparent how important it is to preserve what we know and see. Chunks of our beautiful South Shore disappeared in front of our own eyes a few days ago.

It was equally important and much more technically difficult in the past. We are deeply indebted to photographers and record keepers who immortalized places and scenes of the past.

Arcadia Publishing, South Carolina based company, specializes in historical books of local interests. Books are created by local authors, like Joan Harrison, Amy Driscoll, John Hammond, or Paul Mateyunas, who, having burrowed through various family archives, libraries, documents, and printed materials, bring to us a sliver of the world of old.
