Yup, that's exactly what is was last used for. When I got it it was still full of library cards. The cabinet is from 1903, and I believe it was last used in 1991 - which is about when computers had replaced most of these in libraries.

In addition to being very useful, it is a great looking piece - solid oak, detailed on all sides, and very heavy and sturdy.
