SCIWAY, pronounced "sky-way," is an acronym for South Carolina Information Highway. It's also the name of this website, which is the largest and most comprehensive directory of South Carolina information on the Internet.
Most of the 7 million people who visit SCIWAY each year either live in South Carolina or want to move here or vacation here.
SCIWAY includes thousands of links to other South Carolina web sites as well as a growing collection of maps, charts, articles, and other resources we've developed. It is organized by subject areas – such as education, history, jobs, real estate, and tourism – and has four goals:
- To help South Carolinians and people throughout the world find information about South Carolina quickly and easily.
- To provide information about South Carolina that isn’t available anywhere else on the Internet – and in some cases, even in print
- To celebrate the Palmetto State’s culture, people, and places.
- To create awareness about problems we face statewide ... and to share resources that can help solve them.
SCIWAY was originally created at The Citadel in early 1996 as a learning and public service project. Since 1997 it has been privately funded, and it is now published by SCIWAY.net, LLC, a James Island web information company. While SCIWAY is in many ways a public service, it receives no government funding.
We also publish SCIWAY News, an email newsletter about South Carolina ... South Carolina Plantations, a site about South Carolina's 1800+ plantations ... an alphabetical directory of South Carolina information called SC Zoom! ... and Hotel-Guides.us, which provides useful information about places to stay in US cities and towns.
SCIWAY is a member of the Better Business Bureau of Central South Carolina and Charleston Area.
While SCIWAY is updated and improved daily by a handful of people, it reflects the work of thousands of South Carolinians. Without their talents, energy, ideas, and assistance, SCIWAY would not exist.
If you have an idea about how we could improve SCIWAY ... or if your company or organization would like to advertise on SCIWAY, please write service@sciway.net or call us at 843-795-3951.
