The Origin of The Archive
More than just a bookstore, The Archive is a space to connect, unwind, and immerse yourself in a carefully curated collection of books, coffee, and wine. Inspired by the allure of Dark Academia, it’s a place that celebrates both literature and the art of living well.
Voted Best Bookstore of 2025
The Archive has been named Best of South Carolina 2025 for bookstores, and we’re overwhelmed with gratitude. As a new shop built from blueprints and book dreams, this recognition means the world.
This honor belongs to you, our community of kindred spirits. We can’t wait to keep turning pages together.
At The Archive, we believe in the transformative power of stories.
Explore our carefully curated collection of novels, or immerse yourself in the art of storytelling while savoring a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Discover new worlds, create your own, and let our atmosphere fuel your imagination.
