Scope and Content

This collection consists of letters, forms, and photographs of business signs collected by the City

of Charleston in 1986.

Administrative/Biographical History

The City of Charleston originally established an ordinance (section 54–9) on business signage in

1975. In September of 1985, the city amended the ordinance to better define the types of signs

allowed. By doing so, the city hoped to “eliminate confusing, distracting, or unsafe signs, assure

the efficient transfer of information; and, enhance the visual environment of the City of

Charleston.”1

In order to insure that business signs within the city limits conformed to the new regulations, the

City Council ordered an inventory of all eligible signs. All licensed business owners received

letters and forms that required them to report the number and size of signs on their buildings. If

the owner reported that he/she did have signs, they were also required to send in photos of them.

Most likely due to the lack of clarity in the instructions for the forms, many are filled out

incorrectly. In addition, many of the photos that should be included in various files have been

lost.
