Gosh - I hope you can keep the vertical files. For a project outside my
job, I've used these files to research local artists. Much of the info
couldn't be found elsewhere. I would think the goodwill generated by
helping researchers would be a good thing for the institution - some of
them might eventually be in a position to donate money or art. When a
special library closes or is dimished/restricted, the community becomes
poorer. Good luck.
