Governor (2003-2011: Sanford)
Scope and Content:
This series consists of executive orders or copies of orders issued by the Governor's office and filed with the Secretary of State. An official copy of the executive order should contain the governor's signature, the secretary of state's signature and have the great seal of the state impressed upon it. A large number of the paper orders in this series contain all of those elements, but many are missing one or two of those elements. Digitized records in .pdf format contain all of the elements, though the orders were scanned in grayscale. Of particular note in these records is a group of orders in 1968 declaring a state of emergency in Orangeburg County and other counties in relation to the Orangeburg Massacre. Also of note is a group of orders from 1989 in relation to Hurricane Hugo.
