The Papers of Eliza Lucas Pinckney and Harriott Pinckney Horry is a digital documentary edition that preserves and presents the correspondence and writings of two prominent South Carolina women of the 18th century. Eliza Lucas Pinckney was instrumental in the development of indigo cultivation in the American colonies, while her daughter, Harriott Pinckney Horry, was a notable figure during the American Revolution. The project, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, offers valuable insights into the lives of these women, their contributions to colonial agriculture, and their roles in the social and political spheres of their time.
