A card record cabinet, also known as a card catalog cabinet or card filing cabinet, is a specialized storage unit used to organize and store index cards or other types of card-based records. Historically, card catalogs were commonly used in libraries to provide access to information about books and other library materials. While digital systems have largely replaced physical card catalogs in many libraries, card record cabinets are still used in various settings that require manual indexing or card-based record management.

While the use of physical card catalogs has diminished with the rise of digital databases and online catalogs, card record cabinets still serve a purpose in certain contexts. They offer a tangible and organized storage solution for card-based records, allowing for easy access and retrieval of information when needed.
