PRESERVATION AND REPAIR
We had anticipated when we began to do our own binding that we
would do considerably less repair work and laminating. We had every right
to suppose that the reduction would be nearly half, since our staff would be
reduced from two to one plus the one-day-a-week of volunteer work per-
formed by Jane Revell Moss, who retired as a member of our staff in 1949.
The actual decrease was much less as the following figures will indicate:
1952 (no binding), 32,348 pages laminated; 1953 (twelve volumes bound,
part-time binding), 26,552 pages laminated; 1954 (forty-eight volumes
bound, full-time binding), 23,242 pages laminated. It is our expectation
that the 1954 figure will be maintained. There is a chance that it will be
improved.
Fortunately, after so many years of emphasis on the rehabilitation of
our older State records, we have reached the point where all of the records
in daily use are in usable condition. With this backlog eliminated, it ought
to be possible for one repair worker to keep up with the normal wear and tear
that is bound to occur. During whatever time that remains, she can shift
her attention more and more to the county and church records. An ex-
amination of the list given here below will indicate that this second phase
of our work is already well under way.
