TCU Library Reference Department (earlier files)/Special 

Collections (later and current files) 

Vertical Files, 1869-2007 (inclusive), 1950-1990 (bulk). 

4 File Cabinets; 20.54 linear ft. 

Arranged alphabetically by subject in folders. 

The files include historical documents that pertain to the 

University and its various activities, such as the original 

charter for AddRan Christian College and a list of graduates 

from the college’s very first matriculating class, for 

example. Also included are materials produced by various 

campus departments and organizations (i.e. ROTC, the 

Alumni Association, English Department, etc.) as well as 

flyers from various art exhibits, film festivals, and numerous 

other campus events. Several subject files have been added 

over time, such as “Horned Frog Mascot,” “Minorities at 

TCU” and “Student Life.” Newspaper clippings, university 

bulletins, publications, correspondence and pamphlets make 

up the bulk of the material in these files. 

The exact provenance for the vertical files is unknown. The 

Reference Department began collecting the materials 

housed in these files prior to the existence of a Special 

Collections Department at TCU. The materials are 

primarily TCU related and were created with university 

resources and/or for university purposes.

Description of the Files 

The vertical files began as a way for the reference librarians at TCU to organize the 

various ephemera they acquired regarding the history and development of the University. 

At some point, these files became part of Special Collections due to the nature of the 

materials and their historical value. 

The files include historical documents that pertain to the University and its various 

activities, such as the original charter for AddRan Christian College and a list of 

graduates from the college’s very first matriculating class, for example. Also included 

are materials produced by various campus departments and organizations (i.e. ROTC, the 

Alumni Association, English Department, etc.) as well as flyers from various art exhibits, 

film festivals, and numerous other campus events. Several subject files have been added 

over time, such as “Horned Frog Mascot,” “Minorities at TCU” and “Student Life.” 

Newspaper clippings, university bulletins, publications, correspondence and pamphlets 

make up the bulk of the material in these files. The folders are arranged alphabetically.
