The Pamphlet File is where we house the large
newspaper clipping files on Worcester area subjects.
Almost all the items are from the Worcester
Telegram and Evening Gazette and cover the time
period from about 1960 to the present. While
there are clippings from before 1960, the coverage
is somewhat sparse. All items should be dated
and indicated which newspaper they were taken
from.
The number of items in each folder varies widely.
Some may have only one clipping while others
may fill 2 or 3 folders. The only entry to the
files is by subject. Where possible, the most
direct heading is used, i.e., a company name,
a college, an organization. Some subjects work
better with indirect headings, such as, Congregational
Churches--church name; Schools--Elementary--school
name.
The collection contains materials that were
judged to be of lasting interest but this is
subjective and may not reflect what is needed
in the futrue. It is a best guess for the period
of the newspaper that is not indexed.
From 1989 to the present, the newspaper is
available, fully indexed for locally produced
stories, as part of the "Newsbank Collection".
Coverage in the Pamphlet Files is consequently
less complete from that date on.
