Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Selected Papers of Robert C. Binkley: Edited With a Biographical Sketch and a Bibliography
Binkley's concern for true and full-bodied history led him far in the promotion of the use of sources. He took up and pushed with great Vigor the work of leadership in the Joint Committee on Materials for Research. Microfilm, when he be came interested in it, was a means of recording endorsements on checks; when he left it, it was one of the accepted tools of scholarship. He even pursued relentlessly the solution of the problems of microfilm cameras and readers, showing in this an inventive and practical mind. Other methods for the reproduc tion of the materials of scholarship were studied by him with intense and prolonged concentration, and he became the author of a pioneering book on the subject, one which I believe has not yet been superseded.
