Scope and Content

This collection includes scrapbooks, research subject files, photographs, and writings.

The bulk of the collection (approximately one linear foot) consists of seven scrapbooks of

newspaper articles written by Ruth Cupp between 1988 and 2002 and published principally in

the Charleston Post and Courier or the North Charleston News. A small number of newspaper

clippings written by other authors are included as well. North Charleston history is the primary

topic of these articles, but a number of Ms. Cupp’s writings concern more general subjects such

as the legal profession and genealogy.

The subject files (approximately 0.5 linear feet) consist of clippings, research notes, and copies

of sources materials, all of which are related to various aspects of the history of North

Charleston.

The photographs (0.25 linear feet) included in this collection consist of images taken by Ms.

Cupp as well as photographs sent to her by other individuals. The subject matter of all these

images relates to North Charleston history, and many of the photographic prints included here

were reproduced in Ms. Cupp’s various newspaper articles and in her 1988 publication, North

Area Scrapbook.

The writings (0.25 linear feet) included in this collection consist of several brief drafts and two

longer works: “A Survey of the Populated Area North of the City of Charleston” (typescript; 90

pages; 1949), and a typescript draft of “North Area Scrapbook” (1988; 181 pages).

Administrative/Biographical History

Ruth Williams Cupp (born 1928) is an attorney, writer, and historian. During the course of her

career she collected a significant amount of information about the general history and progress of

the area known as North Charleston. In 1988 she gathered much of this material into a

publication titled North Area Scrapbook, and between 1988 and 2002 she regularly published

articles relating to North Charleston history in the local newspapers.
