Fiske Icelandic Collection
The Fiske Icelandic Collection, located in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library, is the largest repository of works on Iceland and on Nordic medieval studies in North America. The collection, which Cornell University Library received in 1905, contains over 32,000 titles in a variety of European languages and in diverse media, from vellum and paper manuscripts to CD-ROMs. The Fiske Icelandic Collection is particularly rich in printed works of contemporary Icelandic belles lettres, medieval sagas and literary criticism of the latter.
