Planning Your Visit

The Waring Historical Library is dedicated to preserving and providing access to primary source materials relating to the history of the health sciences in the Southeast and at the Medical University of South Carolina. To explore the Waring's collections, consult the online resources available on the Reference page, the Waring's growing list of archival and manuscript collection finding aids, and the library's experienced and knowledgeable staff.
