with the vertical file. I would like to hear your opinions regarding this
subject. Thanks.
Vertical files are helpful *if* there is someone on staff assigned with the
task of keeping them updated, i.e., weeding yearly, adding new information,
creating new files, etc.
With several local history projects here, the only information we have is
what one of my colleagues has collected over the years. There are no books
on local buildings, people, etc.
If your collection is extremely outdated, then throwing it all out and
starting fresh might be the best way to go.
