Physical Description: 30.5 linear ft.

Series Scope and Content Summary

This series consists of drafts, notecards, offprints, and proofs of Fish's writings, along with related correspondence and source materials. Fish often worked with multiple drafts, making frequent changes. Most of the drafts are annotated.

Arrangement

Although the arrangement of the series reflects Fish's alphabetical files of his writings by title, it was necessary, in some cases, to impose an order on the collection by filing all of the drafts for a particular piece together. For instance, drafts that were originally filed by Fish with professional activities materials are now filed here with his other writings. Most drafts are neither dated, nor numbered, and have been placed in approximate order of composition within the files for each title.

The series is arranged in 2 subseries.

Subseries 3.1. Articles and other writings, 1953-circa 1999. 17.8 linear ft.
Subseries 3.2. Monographs, 1941-2001. 12.7 linear ft.

Physical Description: 1.7 linear ft.

Series Scope and Content Summary

This series comprises chiefly correspondence, but also includes other accompanying materials sent to Fish including drafts, offprints, letters to the editor, and copies of letters between others. Correspondence related to Fish's writings is most often filed with the writings themselves, and correspondence is also found in Series 5, Professional activities, and in Series 6, Research files. This distribution of correspondence throughout the collection reflects the original order in which these materials were filed. In addition to letters sent to Fish, this series includes a large collection of correspondence and clippings on the subject of the National Academy of Scholars chapter at Duke University, as well as a number of letters on the subject of political correctness.

Arrangement

The original order of this series was maintained during processing. Correspondence was organized at various times throughout Fish's career in both chronological files and in files by subject or surname of correspondent. A folder of alphabetically filed correspondence at the beginning of this series contains those letters that were outside of the original correspondence files.

Subseries 7.2. Notecards, , circa 1960-circa 2000

Physical Description: 5.2 linear ft.

Subseries Scope and Content Summary

This subseries consists primarily of notecards, but also includes other materials such as handouts, notes, and clippings that were filed by Fish with the notecards. Most of the materials in this subseries are undated. The notecards themselves are related to general research, and to both book projects and articles. Fish used notecards extensively, particularly for reading, preparing essays, proofreading, and conference presentations. The inclusion among the notecards of handouts used in teaching would suggest that they were also used for preparing classes. Notecards are often found with other materials, as evidenced throughout the collection. This subseries consists of notecards that Fish kept separately from other materials.

Arrangement

Notecards in this series have been maintained in their original order, with primary and secondary subdivisions indicating divider tabs by which Fish organized the notecards in their original boxes, enhanced when necessary with information supplied by the processor. Oversize materials that were folded and filed among the notecards have been removed, unfolded, numbered, and filed separately. Their original location in the notecards is indicated by a special card inserted during processing.
