Finding Aid Title: Sylvester Nemes papers, 1973-2010
Finding Aid Collection Number: 2576
Date Range of Collection: 1973-2010
Creator of Materials: Nemes, Sylvester
Content Description: The bulk of this collection is made up of the research, notes, drafts and manuscripts of Nemes' books, both his published works on fly fishing, as well as two unpublished works of historical fiction. This portion of the collection is largely typed pages and handwritten notes in spiral-bound notebooks, but also some galleys and artwork. There is also a large amount of correspondence, mainly from readers and fans of his work expressing their admiration for Nemes, and ordering books and hand-tied flies from him. Biographical material is limited to a few folders which include family correspondence, a brief biography, miscellaneous personal records, and his obituary. Nemes' business and professional records are mainly comprised of correspondence with publishers, book and fly orders and invoices, and other records related to the writing and publishing of his books. In the final series there are photographs, negatives, memorabilia, and several binders of slides taken by Nemes of flies, landscapes in the West and in England and Scotland, fish and rivers, and friends and family.
