I’d also like to do something similar for our vertical file index, which is also currently just a spreadsheet.

Currently we have a second “catalog” that houses all that information. The librarians also index most articles that pertain to local issues or people. This index is heavily used both by genealogists and by researchers.
You are providing a valuable service to your community and to those genealogists who can now find information about relatives in your area. What wonderful volunteers you have to take this data entry on!
