OUR STORIED ISLAND VIDEO SERIES

The Heritage Library is an active member of the Hilton Head Island Community and is proud to present our series featuring the stories of local Islanders and their love for Hilton Head. Please welcome our featured guest, Barbara Hudson.

THE NAME PROJECT

The Heritage Library is known as a vital resource to historical research projects both academic and personal. But, one of our greatest joys is bringing families together.

For the The Name Project, the Heritage Library teamed up with Filmmaker Sean Scanlin to create a documentary series following families on their quest to trace their lineage with the help of the library. Please join us in watching U.S. Army Colonel LaMont Wells on his remarkable journey as he discovers his fascinating heritage and the power of his own family name.

WHO WE ARE

The Library houses a wealth of historical information, old photographs, and maps of Hilton Head Island and the Lowcountry. The library offers a modest daily fee and affordable annual membership options. 

The library is an affiliated library of the Family History Library operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Here you can view restricted records maintained by the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.  

Also, patrons of the Library have access to major online databases at ancestry.com, fold3.com (formerly footnote.com), americanancestors.org (formerly NEHGS), and HeritageQuest Online through the Library’s network.
