The 1880-1930 Year Book Index for the City of Charleston is an alphabetical list of subject and name entries pointing to the individual City of Charleston Year Books published between 1880 and 1930. The bound volume includes two separate indexes. The first is a published 1880 to 1901 index compiled by George H. Holmes of the Charleston Bar Association and printed locally by Lucas-Richardson Lithograph and Printing Company. The 1900 to 1930 index was compiled by Joseph C. Barbot, Clerk of Council. The Barbot index was never published and appears in typewritten manuscript form with handwritten corrections and editions.
The 1896 Olmsted, Olmsted, and Eliot report commissioned by Charleston for the board of park commissioners. The report was created after the group's second visit to Charleston. This is the first report of many as the Parks Commissioners worked in tandem with the Olmstead group up through the twentieth century. The report outlines advice for the advancement of downtown Charleston's parks, general aesthetics, and public roadways. The projects outlined in the report are: Battery Park, Waterfront park, Ashely Ave, Chicora Parkway, and Chicora Park.
