NeWest Press fonds

  • CA UMASC MSS 117 (A1990-016, A1993-068)
  • Fonds
  • 1975-1993

The papers of NeWest Press document the activities of a small regional press that has concentrated on producing quality works of literary fiction, poetry and drama as well as non-fiction works on a wide variety of topics.

The collection is arranged in eleven series. The first five series contain administrative and business records and correspondence of NeWest Press. Series six and seven are devoted to two related organizations, the NeWest Review and the NeWest Institute.

The eighth, and largest, series is made up of manuscripts and related files that document the publishing output of NeWest from its inception in 1977 to the early 1990s. The records relating to specific books are organized alphabetically by author or, in the case of an anthology, by title. Most, but not all, of the books published by NeWest are represented by some sort of documentation, ranging from manuscripts and corrected drafts to correspondence and promotional files.

The ninth series contains files regarding proposed book projects that were not completed by NeWest. The tenth series contains unsolicited manuscript proposals and their accompanying rejection letters.

The final series consists of electronic records, including manuscripts, office file backups and systems disks. Since the Archives lacks the technological resources to access all of these records, they have only been partially processed.
