Additional Notes
The microfilm of The Palmetto Standard and The Chester Standard is owned by the Chester County Library, Chester SC. By special agreement, the Pettus Archives is hosting the digital images of the newspaper. The newspapers were in poor condition when microfilmed over 50 years ago resulting in a relatively poor digital copy. The digital images are as clear as possible.
