The South Carolina State Library is pleased to announce the selection of the most notable South Carolina state government documents of 2011. The selection is announced annually in honor of Freedom of Information Day, March 16, the birthday of President James Madison, an early proponent of citizen access to government information. Awards were presented to the winning agencies by David Goble, State Library Director, at a morning ceremony at the State Library on May 7. "I salute South Carolina state agencies that continue to make their information available to the public, either in print form or electronically. The agencies honored today continue a fine tradition of open government in the Palmetto State," said Goble.
Winning documents were selected by the staff of the South Carolina State Library. All documents are available to view at the State Library.
