The Daniel Library is the main library of The Citadel, and is located on the college's Charleston, South Carolina campus. [1] The library holds approximately 180,000 volumes [2] in addition to extensive digital collections. [3]
Originally consisting of a single room in The Citadel Academy's campus at Marion Square from 1842, the Cadet Library continued to expand and evolve throughout the college's history. When The Citadel moved to its present location, a library space was constructed in Bond Hall. In 1960, a dedicated structure was completed and known as "The Memorial Library and Museum." The building was renamed in 1972 in honor of Charles E. Daniel, '18 and Robert Hugh Daniel, '29, both lifelong benefactors of the college.
The Daniel Library building was completed in 1960, and is situated on The Citadel's campus along the Avenue of Remembrance and next to Summerall Chapel. It is a three-story building, with stucco exterior in the same Spanish Moorish-style as other buildings on campus. Major renovations were completed in the fall of 2010, which added a central staircase and revamped first and second floor spaces to add technology, group study spaces, and other updating on the then-half century old building. The renovations cost $2.2 million and were financed entirely with private donations, with the lead gift coming from the Daniel Foundation of Alabama, founded by the namesakes of the Library. [4] [5]
The third floor of the building houses the campus archives and museum. Digital holdings of letters, diaries, and records are also made available online, and display cases, murals, and other exhibits are displayed throughout the library. Among other exhibits, the Museum features displays on cadet life in earlier years and a collection of class rings dating to 1895. Elsewhere in the library are exhibits relating to author Pat Conroy and swords carried in active military service by alumni including Charles Courtenay Tew [6] and James B. White. The archives also host an extensive Oral History program. [7]

The South Carolina State Arsenal in Charleston, South Carolina was built in 1829 in response to the alleged 1822 slave revolt led by Denmark Vesey. The alleged uprising never came to fruition and Vesey was publicly hanged in 1822. In 1842 the South Carolina Military Academy, a liberal arts military college, was established by the state legislature, and the school took over the arsenal the following year as one of 2 campuses, the other being the Arsenal Academy in Columbia, South Carolina. The school became known as the Citadel Academy because of the appearance of its building. From 1865 to 1881, during Reconstruction, Federal troops occupied the Citadel, and the school was closed. Classes resumed in 1882 and continued in this building until the school was relocated to a new campus on the banks of the Ashley River in 1922.

The History of The Citadel began in the early 1820s with the formation of a militia and state arsenal in response to an alleged slave revolt in 1822. By 1842 the arsenal grew into an academy, with the Legislature establishing it as the South Carolina Military Academy. Cadets played a key role in the Civil War, by firing upon a federal ship three months before the war began. Many Confederate officers attended the school. Renamed in 1910 as The Citadel, the school's academic reputation grew. After moving the campus near Hampton Park in 1922, the college has grown substantially. Sixteen years after legal segregation ended in public schools, the Citadel saw the graduation of its first Black student, Charles D. Foster. After an equally rocky journey forward, the Citadel graduated its first female Cadet in 1999. The school has produced many military officers, business, and political leaders throughout its history.
