The Vertical File of the Reference/Documents Collection includes
material from newspapers, magazines, Texas documents, pamphlets,
and maps which includes information about Texas people, places,
things, and events.
The purpose of the collection is threefold:
1.To provide articles that are historical, summary, or comprehensive
in nature, containing an overview on a particular Texas topic.
2.To lead a researcher to additional material on a subject by
including bibliographies, cross references, and dates of significance.
3.To be a source of ready reference facts and statistics for use
by staff.
The vertical file does not aspire to be a comprehensive source
of information on any topic. It does not serve as a current events
tool nor as a day-by-day chronology of any given event.
In the index below, headings in ALL CAPS denote specific file
folders in the Vertical File. Some folders may contain only only
a page or two of clippings while others may include hundreds of
clippings. The entire Vertical File is available for public use
in the Reference/Documents Collection
