After nearly seven years of blogging here at the Charleston Archive, I’m passing the reins of this domain to Charleston County Public Library‘s “new” archivist, Katie Gray. A CCPL veteran, Katie has been our “processing archivist” for several years now, and is now a board-certified archivist. Our department is undergoing a bit of a reorganization, and Katie is stepping forward to assume the full mantle of “Archivist” and all the perquisites that attend that title. Congratulations to Katie! As for me, I’m migrating to a new “public history” endeavor that I’ve christened The Charleston Time Machine, at a new website at http://charlestontimemachine.org. In my new role as “historian” for the Charleston County Public Library system, I’ll be using local history to engage with the community and to promote life-long learning. Charleston has a nearly infinite supply of colorful, intriguing stories, and I hope to educate, inspire, and entertain the community by shining a light into some of the dim recesses of our city’s past. From now on, I will use the new Charleston Time Machine blog to announce my upcoming lectures and other events. Please click on the image above to follow me into the future! Thanks everyone! Nic
