Library Contains Phoostatic Files of By JEAN DAVIS ce What were the people of South S, Carolina doing forty years ago? If you want to know, the South Caroliniana Library has the answer in its photostatic files of the State newspaper covering all orissues from 1892 to 1912. rFor approximately four years, 38the library has had as one of its functions the reproducing of of newspapers, valuable manu scrips, old county papers and let ters by photostating. In the case of the State, the process produces a page 36% the size of the orig inal. This renders the copy less bulky and all that is necessary to read the reprint is to grab a mag nifying glass and start looking. Another advantage of the pro cess is the durability of the re produced sheet. An estimated life of 50 years can be assigned to Sthe photostats. The letters of William Gilmore Sinmms, of which the library has Sthe largest collection in the U. S., have also been photostated. SNow it is possible to examine closely papers which heretofore were unattainable in a glass case. In addition to Simms' letters, many other old and valuable manuscripts are being made available for public use. The greatest advantage of pho tostating lies in the fact that it makes possible the circulation of material which otherwise could not leave the library. Already, the South Caroliniana has fur nished other universities and col leges with much needed informa tion. An estimated number of 600 copies a week can be produced by the three part-time workers. (The machine Is one of the older mod elds.) The process consists of first taking a picture of the ma terial. A negative, or black back ground with white printing, Is the result. To acquire a copy In the positive form, It is necessary to photograph the negative. Most of the papers produced In the Carolinianla Library are left In the negative form. After the picture is taken, the sheet goes into a chemical bath. It is next washed In a Pako wash ing machine. This completed, the copy Is left from six to eight hours In a dryer to become the finished product. Jim Meriwether, Bob Cordes, and Pat Thompson are the opera tors of the machine.
