Scientific paper

Most of the 1200 photographs of southern galactic star clusters and double stars taken by Benjamin A. Gould at Cordoba, Argentina, in 1872-1882 are in the Harvard College Observatory plate collection. A recent evaluation of these plates shows many to be in usable condition. Details of the characteristics of Gould's plates of galactic clusters, including limiting magnitudes, are presented.
