The CgAHLESTON Muspum was organized in March, 1773, by the Charles 

 Town Library Society. In 1815 it was transferred- to the liitferaiy and 

 Philosophical Society of South Carolina, and ia 1828 was deposited in the 

 Medical College of South Carolina. In 185Q th^*^ Museum was transferred 

 to the College of Charleston, where it was known as the College of Charles- 

 ton Museum. , In 1907 a building was.provid'ed'by the City and the name
