22 THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
sixteen years. Losing an entire repair room staff within a few months,
was almost a catastrophe because any new employee has to learn the
craft here, as there are never applicants for these positions who are in
the least experienced. To replace Miss Goldsborough, we employed
Mrs. Judith Lilley. She was very promising, but in April of 1967, she
left suddenly and unexpectedly. We then employed the present staff
and we took a third person into this division, who had the classification
of Document Restorer for the Land Office, but who had never had the
opportunity to do any work of this kind. We put her to work on Land
Office records which had been long neglected, with good results. In
sum, we were only able to laminate 18,645 pages this year, compared
to an average yearly total of 25,000 and we were able to bind 40
manuscript volumes when our normal product is 70. We expect to do
better when our staff has gained experience.
PHOTODUPLICATION
The amount of photoduplication during the year increased by
something over 30%, exclusive of work done in the Land Office. In
addition to this substantial increase in our reference and research busi-
ness, we were able to continue our field work and to add to our micro-
film holdings at the Hall of Records (see Archival Accessions). Mar-
garet White, who had been a valued employee of the Hall of Records
since 1942, retired during this fiscal year. We were able, after a short
time, to replace her with a young man who proved to be adequate for
the task.
