Wallace, David Duncan, 1874-1951
Papers, 1895-1951
3 cubic feet
Scope and Content:
Papers created and or/collected by David Wallace Duncan, longtime history and economics professor at Wofford College. A prolific writer, and eminent historian, he is perhaps best known for his landmark 4 volume History of South Carolina published in 1934. This collection contains many of his works, published and unpublished, and two suppressed novels. Books, pamphlets, reviews, addresses, editorials and articles in periodicals, dictionaries, and encyclopedias comprise the greater part of this collection. Personal correspondence, research materials, and various family papers are also included.
These works do not represent the bulk of the David Duncan Wallace Papers. In 1979 the South Carolina Historical Society secured rights to the personal works of David Duncan Wallace from his heirs and Wofford. As Wofford College has no graduate program in history and the majority of these records were on acidic paper; it was decided to transfer title to the Society in return for a microform copy. This microform copy is part of the existing Wofford collection.
