Jerry A. McCoy, Special Collections Librarian/Archivist of the Washingtoniana Division and Peabody Room for the District of Columbia Public Library writes:
Vertical files covering over 200 subjects related to the history of Georgetown are now available to researchers. Since the April 30, 2007 Georgetown Branch Library fire, a small group of dedicated volunteers have copied thousands of fragile and water-damaged newspaper clippings (the oldest dated 1897!) onto acid-free paper. In addition to newspaper articles, vertical files routinely contain brochures, pamphlets, documents, magazine articles, and related ephemera. If you would like to receive the 18-page word document index to the subject vertical file headings, please email your request to jerry.mccoy@dc.gov .
