1. On-line Catalogues and Computerized Databases

are located on the first two tables to the left of the Reference Desk as you enter the room. Here you will find computers for the 

• Reference Library, 
  
  
• the Internet, 
  
  
• AIIMS (Archives Integrated Information Management System), and 
  
  
• the South Carolina Archives On-Line Records Indexes. 

AIIMS lists the complete S. C. Archives collection holdings, as do the printed guides, but it also offers subject and title searching and provides historical notes, series descriptions, finding aids/indexes, and container listings for many record series. The On-line Records Indexes are a database indexed by name to selected colonial, state, and county records – a handout is available for full explanation and list of the 40 record series indexed in this database. The microfilm indexes used in this database are designated [On-line Indexes] in brackets in this Guide and can be accessed on the Internet at: http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/
