Collection of personal papers, correspondence, photographs, and files on history, politics, and various other topics dating to Latimer's long tenure at the The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C. Topics include records and reference files of The State newspaper; civil rights issues, 1930-1966; professional organizations, including White House Correspondents Association, 1943; civic and charitable organizations; and the Presbyterian Church. Other topics include military and veterans affairs; World War I; Fort Jackson (Columbia, S.C.); Secretary of the Army Civilian Aide; Association of the United States Army; The Citadel; European Tour by U.S. Publishers/Editors, 1946-1947; American Legion; and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Papers re history of S.C. and vicinity include following topics: James F. Byrnes; papers of the Gonzales, Elliot, and McMaster families; Civil War; South Carolina, ca. 1890s-1970s and Columbia, S.C.; Wright Brothers, ca. 1903-1967; York County, S.C., ca. 1819-1913; theater in S.C., ca. 1908-1975; writings and speeches; and photographs. Two oversize scrapbooks, 1956-1961 [stored offsite], document Latimer's column in the newspaper, "From Across the Editor's Desk," which discussed topics of local, national, or historical interest. Similar content, calligraphy, and date spans suggest these volumes may have been created for Latimer and another member of the staff: Scrapbook 1 (29 Jan. 1956 - 4 Jan. 1961); and Scrapbook 2 (5 Feb. 1956 - 3 Jan. 1961), which includes clippings and a large-format mounted photograph of the statue of the Confederate soldier's monument on the north side of the S.C. State House, and the replacement head following damage from a lightning strike (published 8 Nov. 1959).
