Scope and Content Note

The York County Democratic Party Records document the activities, organization, and electoral efforts of the York County Democratic Party. The party’s stated goal is “to elect Democratic candidates in York County, the State of South Carolina, and the United States.” Materials in the series date primarily from 1998 to 2012 and reflect both internal administration and public-facing political activity.

The collection includes meeting minutes of the Executive Board and general party meetings; agendas for county conventions; voter turnout reports by precinct; strategic planning reports; campaign mailers and promotional materials; and newspaper articles concerning elections, voting data, and election results. Together, these materials provide insight into party governance, campaign planning, voter engagement, and the local political landscape.

Restricted materials within the collection include records containing personal and financial information, such as delegate lists, donor lists, precinct officer records, and financial and banking documents. Access to these materials is limited in accordance with privacy and confidentiality considerations.
