Vertical files are a great way to get an overview of a topic. Containing newspaper clippings, articles, copies, and more on an assortment of subjects means each vertical file provides researchers with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with a subject before taking a deep dive into what is available. The Gallaudet University Archives has several subject categories of vertical files: Deaf African American, Deaf Associations, Deaf Biographical, Deaf International, Deaf Schools, Deaf Subject, Federal Government, and Gallaudetania. Below are the vertical files that have been digitized.
