The Vertical Files collection is a curated assemblage of ephemeral materials that offer concise and topical information on various subjects related to Papua New Guinea, its history, culture, environment, and the university’s academic disciplines. These files are organized by subject and are accessible to students, faculty, researchers, and the public for quick reference and research purposes. The collection serves as a supplementary resource, providing context, background information, and unique insights that may not be available in more formal publications.
