We acquired spectra of 24 LMC planetary nebulae (PNs) in the 1150-3000{AA} range in order to determine carbon and other ionic abundances. The sample more than doubles the number of LMC PNs with high-quality UV spectra in this wavelength range and whose optical images are available in the Hubble Space Telescope archive. The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph was used with a very large aperture to obtain virtually slitless spectra; thus, the monochromatic images in the major nebula emission lines are also available. The analysis of the data shows extremely high quality spectra. This paper presents the emission lines identified and measured and the calculation of the ionic abundances of the emitting carbon and other ions, as well as total carbon abundance.
