In general catalog under Day-NW but shelved separately is Day-NW Engergretson. This is collection focuses on fly-fishing. It is made up of two separate donations, MA 2012-14 (Duke Parkening Collection) and MA 2011-27 (David Engerbretson Papers). It was given the prefix of Day-NW because the catalog used at the time wouldn't allow any more collections to be added. They were shelved separately due to space constraints.
