A large fireproof building, now Post Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 10:23:12 +0000
The law governing the society, which is printed in this Report, establishes it as trustee of the state and directs that it shall hold all its present and future col- lections and property for the state. The same statute provides that sixty bound copies of each of the several publications of the state, and of its societies and institutions shall be given to the society to be used in exchange with other societies and insti- tutions. A large fireproof building, now in course of construction in Columbia, will house both.

The work appears Post Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 9:47:23 +0000
The society has just moved its library and museum and the state archives, of which it has charge, into a Memorial Building constructed by the state at a cost of about half a million dollars. Inasmuch as the soci- etys collections number 237,686 books and pamphlets, 149,851 archival documents, 44,628 other manuscripts, 9,127 pictures, 7,616 maps, atlases, and charts, and 9,809 relics, it will readily be seen that the moving was no small task. The work appears to have been sadly hampered by lack of funds and by lack of equipment in the new building.

The report contains a list Post Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 9:20:46 +0000
The commissioner, Henry Woods, inspected the con- dition of public records in one hundred and fifty towns during the year and made many recommendations for their better care and protection against fire. Acting upon his orders, a number of towns and counties had records repaired, renovated, and bound by the Emery Record Preserving Company. The report contains a list of approved typewriter ribbons and stamping pads.

The Acts and Proceedings Post Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 9:08:06 +0000
The use of any other ribbons or pads in the making of public records, either state or local, is forbidden by law. Ten years ago representatives of twelve historical societies in Pennsylvania met in Harrisburg and organized the Pennsylvania Federation of Historical Societies. The Acts and Proceedings of the tenth annual meeting of this federation, held January 21, 1915 (Harrisburg, 1915.

85 p), shows that it now has a mem- bership of forty-one societies, many of which were called into being as a result of the activities of the federation. The president, in his address, complained that the part played by Pennsylvania did not secure adequate consideration in histories of the nation because of the lack of local historical work in the state as com- pared with New Englan If this be true of Pennsylvania, what shall be said of the western states in which active and effective local historical societies, apart from the state institutions, are almost non-existent ? An especially valuable section of the pamphlet contains the reports of the constituent institutions for the year ending January 21, 1915. This contains the names and addresses of officers, number of members, number of meetings held, titles of publica- tions issued and papers read, and statements of special work done.

Another section contains lists of publications in the fields of Pennsylvania history, genealogy, and biography, and of books by Pennsylvanians issued during the year a valuable contribution to the bibliography of the state. The federation is supported by dues of two dollars a year from each constituent society and by a small appropriation from the the state. It is endeavoring to secure the passage of an act pro- viding for the appointment, in the division of public records of the state library, of a supervisor of public records, whose duty it shall be to examine into the condition of the records in the several public offices of the counties, cities and boroughs of the Commonwealth; to recommend such action as shall be neces- sary to secure their safety and preservation ; and to cause all laws relating to public records to be enforce From the Report of the state librarian of Pennsylvania for 1914 (Harrisburg, 1915.

41 p) it appears that the staff of the division of public records, which has charge of classifying and indexing the state archives and such county archives as are transferred to its care, consists of a custodian, eleven assistants, and a messenger. The State Historical Society of Missouri is making a special effort to collect the published minutes of various church organiza- tions in the state and now has several thousand of them. The fact that few of the organizations possess complete files of their own minutes emphasizes the importance of sending copies of such publications to the state historical society where they are certain to be preserved and where they will be available for future refer- ence.
