Black Archives Vertical Files
The Black Archives vertical files are based on the vertical files collection created by the Kansas
City Public Library Lincoln Branch as part of its comprehensive collection of materials
concerning African Americans. The branch started the vertical files collection in the early
1920s. When the Lincoln Branch closed in 1971, the entire collection, including the vertical
files, moved to the Main Branch and was renamed the Ramos Collection, in honor of Dr. John F.
Ramos, Jr., the first African American to serve on the Kansas City Board of Education. The
Ramos vertical files are currently housed in the Missouri Valley Room at the Central Branch of
the Kansas City Public Library.
The Black Archives of Mid-America received a copy of the Ramos vertical files from the
Missouri Valley Special Collections Department in November 2013. The Black Archives of
Mid-America will continue to add materials to the collection from the legacy holdings of the
Black Archives.
