Special Collections and Archives

This collection consists mainly of material compiled by J. C. Littlejohn for a history of Clemson College. He died before completing this project. It is a rich source of documentation on every aspect of Clemson, from information on the Calhoun and Clemson families to student life and college administration.

James Corcoran Littlejohn worked at Clemson College from the time he graduated in 1908 until his retirement in 1954. He was the college's first register beginning in 1910 and its first business manager beginning in 1926. The bulk of the papers are related to his career. His daughter Mary Katherine Littlejohn added some material related to her own life as well as posthumous material concerning her father.
