Gary Paul Nabhan is an internationally-celebrated nature
writer, seed saver, conservation biologist and sustainable
agriculture activist who has been called “the father of the
local food movement” by Mother Earth News. Gary is also an
orchard-keeper, wild forager and Ecumenical Franciscan brother
in his hometown of Patagonia, Arizona near the Mexican border.
He is author or editor of twenty-four books, some of which
have been translated into Spanish, Italian, French, Croatian,
Korean, Chinese and Japanese. For his writing and collaborative
conservation work, he has been honored with a MacArthur “genius”
award, a Southwest Book Award, the John Burroughs Medal for
nature writing, the Vavilov Medal, and lifetime achievement
awards from the Quivira Coalition and Society for Ethnobiology.
He works most of the year as a research scientist at the
Southwest Center of the University of Arizona, and the rest as
co-founder-facilitator of several food and farming alliances,
including Renewing America’s Food Traditions and Flavors Without
Borders.
About the Collection: Papers, 1866-2010 (18 boxes) contains personal journals,
academic work, correspondence, maps, and drafts of books and essays, as well as audio and video cassettes, computer disks, and photographs.
It include material on the Center for Sustainable Environments and Renewing America’s Food Traditions. The collection was received in boxes
organized by file drawers from Gary Paul Nabhan’s home and this list is part of the collection. Books included in this donation were
cataloged for the Natural History Collection. Additional material (8 pages, primarily correspondence)
that Nabhan mailed to the Sowell Collection Librarian in July 2015 were added to box 1.
