Episode 217: Educating Antebellum Tradesmen: The Charleston Apprentices’ Library Society

from Charleston Time Machine · host Nic Butler, Ph.D.

The Apprentices’ Library Society, founded in 1824, sought to enhance the education of Charleston youths by providing reading material to teenagers studying traditional handicrafts, but its educational mission expanded to include programs and classes. Although fire wrecked the society’s fortunes in 1861 and it dissolved in 1874, this forgotten institution pointed towards the future libraries of Charleston that we recognize today.
