Papers of a writer and historian of Portland, Oregon. The bulk of the collection consists of research notes and publisher information (contracts, invoices, correspondence, etc.) for Eugene Snyder's various books. Four file folders hold story ideas for fiction and nonfiction books. A small portion consists of the promotional materials and marketing efforts for his mother Amanda Snyder's art exhibitions and her book, Bookful of Birds. The next largest portion of the collection is his notes on various personal interests: genealogy (with a focus on Germany), religion/Christianity and UFOs. Included here is an abstract of title to a property on NE 40th Avenue between Thomson and Brazee in the Rossmere subdivision of Portland, with an original plat map. The "General Reference" section contains Snyder's notes, and occasional letters to/from literary people on books he had read or intended to read on a broad range of subjects. The collection also contains a small group of personal photographs and postcards, and an index file of personal and professional contacts.
