Publisher:  Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan, USA
Resource Type:  Paper File - File Folder

The vertical file contains clippings, pamphlets, reprints, and other miscellaneous materials relating to persons, places, organizations, and topical subjects relating to Michigan. The Michigan Historical Collections has maintained a vertical file since the mid-1940s. From the beginning, the purpose of the vertical file was to arrange and store small items, memorabilia, and ephemeral material pertaining to the state of Michigan and the University of Michigan. For the most part, the vertical file contains printed items, only. Manuscript material and other unique items were, generally, not placed in the vertical file. Some of the materials in the vertical file include: newspaper clippings, press releases, programs, speeches, sermons, reprints, and obituaries. In a sense, the vertical file may be thought of as the Michigan Historical Collection's scrapbook.
