Local History and Genealogy Reading Room Vertical File Index This alphabetical index lists materials on file at the Reference Desk in the Local History and Genealogy Reading Room. To view these materials, please inquire at the Reference Desk. Background The Vertical Files in the Local History and Genealogy Reading Room contain miscellaneous materials relating to specific family names, to the states, towns, and cities of the United States, and to genealogical research in general. Included are drafts of letters written by Local History and Genealogy reference librarians, pamphlets and other materials donated to the Library, magazine and newspaper clippings, genealogical charts and newsletters, and brochures of genealogical interest relating to organizations, societies and libraries throughout the United States. Currently, additions or corrections submitted by donors to update the genealogical information appearing in books in the Library’s collections are kept in the Vertical File. The Vertical Files also include family name newsletters and local history/ethnic newsletters and publications. Materials in the Vertical File are not cataloged and do not appear in the Library of Congress Online Public Access Catalog; however, readers in the Local History and Genealogy Reading Room are able to view materials collected in the Vertical File. Collection Statement While it is true that, as a rule, that the Library collects comprehensively in the areas of genealogy and local history, there are exceptions. The credentials of the publisher, content of the work, amount of original research, scope, intended audience, and overall quality of the production, all play a role in the selection decision. For serials and newsletters, staff determine whether to acquire permanently, acquire current issues only, or not at all, and even for a title that would class in a subject area where the Library normally takes all. Unpublished gift materials are reviewed on a case by case basis; materials of an ephemeral nature, brochures and pamphlets, are generally added to the Vertical File in the Local History and Genealogy Reading Room.
