A search for long period variables in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) was made using I plates from the U.K. Schmidt telescope. Variables were identified using a blink comparator built specially for this project and plates were digitised to determine periods and light curves for suspected variables. Over 300 new variables with periods in excess of 100 days were found, some variables having periods in excess of 1000 days.
