Papers, 1855-1983.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122554158

The Jens Nyholm Papers fill eighteen boxes and are arranged in six subseries: biographical materials, education files, correspondence, professional organization files, research and consulting files, and publications. These papers comprise Nyholm's personal files; the records documenting his service as university librarian at Northwestern may be found in University Archives' Series 9/4, Records of the University Librarian. Approximately a quarter of the material in Nyholm Papers is in Danish. The biographical materials include curricula vitae, biographical entries from reference works, a long biographical article from the Winnetka Talk (Nov. 28, 1963), and Nyholm's U.S. Certificate of Citizenship (Dec. 8, 1937). The education files include some of Nyholm's student papers. Two folders contain correspondence, notes, and drafts of his M.A. thesis. The general correspondence, arranged chronologically by date, letters to and from Nyholm written in both English and Danish. Many, especially inthe years before 1940, are between Nyholm and his close friends, and members of his family. The professional organizations files include correspondence, reports, and a few publications relating to organizations with which Nyholm was associated. The major item in the research and consulting files is the folder pertaining to Nyholm's consulting on the development of a collection management policy for the University of Pittsburgh. The publication files comprise approximately one quarter of the papers. This large amount of manuscript, typed and printed material, much of it in Danish, has been divided into sections for prose and for poetry. Where possible reprints have been filed with related manuscripts. Most of his articles on library matters, including several about Danish libraries and librarians during World War II, are in English. Up to his late 30s Nyholm expressed himself frequently in poetry. Manuscripts, mostly in Danish, exist on a wide variety of topics and, occasionally, in several revisions. His major translations of works from Danish into English include several poems by Klaus Rifbjerg. The major items in the poetry section of the publication files relate to his books, Portal til Amerika and Amerikanske Stemmer.
