The Bingham Collection also has a vertical file component. The folders within the vertical file contain articles, pictures, calendars etc. about many topics relating to children's books, authors, illustrators, and so on. The collection is not cataloged in the Voyager on-line system, but does have a printout of the Vertical File Headings under which the items in the vertical file folders, can be found.
