Do archives and libraries keep records on where they bought records? I copied
lots of things for my mother when I was a teen- early 60s- at the Charleston
Library; wasn't interested at all in family history at the time; my question
is where are all those xeroxes now. We had some rather famous folks in our
collateral lines and my father thought they'd bring a good price; I think our
family records must've gone with them.
I have found nothing of archival quality among the bits'n'peices I later
found in her library. My mother was an artist and aspired to be a
novelist/family historian so the bits I have are being counted as "family
tradition" and yet to be proven.
My father sold my mother's things at an auction in Walterboro SC ca 1989;
since I got the genealogy bug after the auction I don't know who bought all
the archival things... I got the family silverware and the Steinway... my
brother says there's a list somewhere that tells who bought what and a Smith
cousin says some of his mother's things turned up in the Caroliniana room at
USC? but his list is in storage and he doesn't know where it is. If I contact
all the archives who may have bought the papers what is the best way to pose
my query?
