The Dickey Papers contain his collected papers and writings from childhood scrapbooks through his teaching career, primarily at San Francisco State University for 35 years, and all his poetry. He was particularly interested in the use of computers and taught hyperpoetry, wrote many “hyperpoems,” and kept abreast of the latest advances in that field for his own use and for teaching from at least 1983 on. Included are various iterations of file formats and backup technology encompassing the SyQuest tape cartridges, the 5 ¼” floppy disks, and the 3” floppies. Dickey’s published and unpublished work is represented in many versions along with the publishing history of each work.
