Database
of Southern Charitable Societies
The
database of charitable societies currently holds entries for
more than four hundred and fifty institutions. The information
about each society varies widely. Those institutions with substantial
surviving records have much fuller entries than those without,
for example. The database has been organised so that users can
either find information about a specific society, or about societies
in a specific place or state, or about a type of society. Very
useful appendicies that list charitable societies in the South
can be found in the dissertations of John Christie Dann and
Gail S. Murray (see the bibliography for full citations). This
current database brings those two sources together and adds
to them considerably, both in terms of chronological range and
geographic spread. The database is naturally an ongoing project,
and is being added to all the time. If you have information
about a society that is not included in the database then please
tell us about it.
