The material in the Pinks series microfilm is correspondence from constituents, colleagues, government officials of various levels, friends and family directly related to material found in the Subject Correspondence series. This includes subjects ranging from agriculture to taxes and information on Strom Thurmond's personal and public life during the years 1954-1976. However, the files in the Subject Correspondence series for the period 1954-1976 have been processed and some material has been discarded. Therefore, not all correspondence cross-referenced from the Pinks series to the Subject Correspondence series will necessarily be found.

Important individuals in this series from South Carolina include State Representative Solomon Blatt; Walter J. Brown; James F. Byrnes; United States Congressman William Jennings Bryan Dorn; Clemson College Presidents Robert C. Edwards and Robert F. Poole. Other important individuals include President Lyndon B. Johnson; United States Senators Barry Goldwater and Richard B. Russell.

While attempts were made to produce error free microfilm rolls, frame-by-frame checks performed by the staff of Special Collections on the first generation rolls identified missing material which have been targeted, filmed, and spliced to the end, and in some cases the front, of second generation microfilm rolls requiring editing. The Pinks Series Microfilm Project is ongoing and roll numbers listed below, representing years 1954-1969, are available for patron use.
