Vertical File Index Monroe County History Center

Research Library Last updated: February 7, 2020 Please note: See (underlined) refers to the subject heading where material on a topic may be

found. See also lists related subject headings where additional material on a topic may be

found. Files on a particular family are titled with just the last name (i.e., “Mershon,” not

“Mershon Family”). The library has a separate section of Family Files containing lineage information.

Information on certain communities (i.e., “Ellettsville”) is included in the Vertical Files. The library also has a separate section of Community Files in File Cabinet 2.
