About This Collection
A collection of all things Memphis… a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
The M Files consists of photographs and documents that have rarely been accessible by the public before now. All of the items that have been found or donated, but never added to a permanent collection, will now find a home here as part of the M Files.

More Information
As the clippings from the Memphis Information File are digitized, they will be added to The M Files, but so will smaller manuscript collections and unique digital collections that pull together materials from multiple physical collections within the Memphis & Shelby County Room. You never know what you might find!
