The Bert Fish Collection, housed at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, includes Bert Fish's papers, ephemera, photographs, rare books, furniture, and other artifacts. Select items from the collection illuminate Bert Fish's diplomatic career in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Portugal.
The collection was transferred to Stetson University in 2021, as a result of an agreement among Stetson's duPont-Ball Library, the Bert Fish Foundation, and the West Volusia Historical Society.
