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.
Series 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.

Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains syllabi, handouts, lecture notes, readings, and other materials from Fish's teaching. Many of the materials
in this series contain no indication of the institution at which a particular course was given; researchers will have to rely
on the dates of Fish's affiliations with academic institutions, provided in the Chronology, to help determine where he offered
a specific course. For other materials that were used for teaching, see also the Research files series, which includes both
readings and notecards.
Series Arrangement
This series is arranged chronologically, by date. Courses without a known date are filed at the end of the series. Undated
handouts have been gathered together and are filed according to the approximate dates for their respective courses. Originally,

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.
Series 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.

Physical Description: 5.2 Linear Feet
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.
Subseries 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.

is already available, it is indicated at the item level by a "U" following the audiocassette number. Contact Special Collections
and Archives for further information.
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
