The Salive Collection consists of both Science Fiction and Fantasy and complements the Fastier hard-science collection of Sci-Fi. Van Vogt was a Salive favourite, as was Samuel Delany.

Salive was also relentless in collecting pre-1949 issues of Astounding Stories, and continued collecting the series, which turned into Analog Science Fiction and Fact.

Fantasy authors who feature predominantly include C.J Cherryh, Jack L. Chalker, Poul Anderson, and Piers Anthony.

In March 2013 Rachel Salive donated the Hal Salive Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection to Special Collections, University of Otago.

It forms an excellent resource for students and scholars in the field of science fiction and fantasy (in all its formats) and remains a lasting legacy to a fine collector.
