Indexed Files

The Elizabeth Van Gorkom Genealogy & Local History Research Center maintains an extensive collection of Vertical Files, organized alphabetically by subject (History Files) and by family name (Surname Files). These folders may contain newspaper and magazine clippings, web printouts, booklets, essays, family group sheets, photos, ephemera, and other materials related to each topic or family.
