SFWA officer collections


This page (and its subsidiary pages) is a work in progress

 

This section of the wiki serves as a resource for information on the location of archival collections that include papers pertaining to various officer positions of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).  The goal of the wiki is to offer a succinct listing that will help researchers identify holding institutions and related resources (such as online finding aids and catalog records) related to the operations of the SFWA organization.  The intention is not to duplicate the detailed information that exists on individual institutions' websites or in their catalogs, but rather to provide an easy-to-consult list of where these papers are housed.

 

Click on the officer list below (or in the side bar) to search for papers pertaining to a specific position:
