Vertical Files Index: The University
Vertical Files is a collection of loose materials such as newspaper clippings, booklets, pamphlets, brochures, postcards, reports, and other types related to all things Louisiana. As the name suggests, these materials were historically stored in vertical filing cabinets in folders arranged by category. A library team is making progress with the digitization of these files to preserve their fragile nature.
This index identifies the holdings in the collection. The number next to a category indicates how many files have been digitized in that category so far.
- University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette) | 1999-present
- University of Southwestern Louisiana (USL) | 1960-1999
- Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute (SLI) | 1921-1960
