Over the years CHS has created several series of publications:
Historic Sites Survey III
Faces & Places Places of Cashiers Valley I-III
​
These were crafted in the efforts to document a community that is grounded in its own special place and the particulars of this specific place that play a vital role in any story told. It was the intent of these works and exhibits to photograph historic properties in Cashiers Valley together with the stories of those people who've made these places significant in our community memory.
