The Daniel Library was constructed in 1960 and is named in honor of the late Charles E. Daniel, Citadel 1918, and the late R. Hugh Daniel, Citadel 1929; distinguished Citadel men who were lifelong benefactors of the college. The men established the Daniel International Corporation - at one time the third largest construction company in the world. The main library collection contains more than 1,128,798 books, bound periodicals, and government documents and pamphlets. Facilities include a 12,000 volume reference collection, 449,390 microfilm and microfilm readers. Eight Citadel murals and portraits of The Citadel's superintendents, presidents (a term used after 1922), and distinguished alumni are featured on the interior walls.
The Archives and Museum and the office of its Director are located on the third floor of the building. The Archives contains over three hundred collections which pertain to The Citadel or have military significance. The Museum features the history of The Citadel from 1842 to the present. The entrance to the Museum is on the south side of the building.
