1852-1861 | Returned to America where he continued as newspaper correspondent. From 1852-1859, he held a position in the Astor Library (NYC). From 1857-1860, he edited the American Chess Monthly | |

On July 13, 1880 he was married to Jennie McGraw who died in Ithaca on Sept. 30, 1881. During 1882-1883 Fiske made trips to Egypt and Europe and it was in the latter year that the Petrarch Collection was begun. There were more European travels until 1883 when Fiske severed all connections with Cornell University | |
1883-1892 | Lived in Florence in a rented villa (Villa Forini) until 1888. During these years in Italy he made several trips to the United States, Egypt, Scandinavia, and other European countries. | |

Correspondence, scrapbooks, and account books pertaining chiefly to Fiske's activities as a book collector, although there

Additional correspondence includes instructions to Willard Austin for filing this collection in preparation for Horatio Stevens
White's biography of Fiske; letters to him from acquaintances and close friends in the United States; from Italy where he
spent the remainder of his years following his resignation from Cornell in 1883; from Egypt and Iceland; and from many other

notes, biographical correspondence, and post-1904 correspondence relating to the Dante and Petrarch Collections at Cornell;
Egyptian manuscripts, printed material relating to the Egyptian alphabet, and photographs of Egypt; family photographs; Fiske

and Gould Colman as part of a commemoration of Fiske at Cornell University Library in 1989. These audiocassettes are cataloged
