Description
The Harry Ransom Center is among the nation's finest research libraries and a place of unlimited discovery.
The collections assembled here document the work of some of our finest writers and artists and provide unprecedented access to the creative process while also helping us understand the historical moment out of which this work emerged.
In collecting and preserving this record, the Ransom Center is engaged in important cultural stewardship. We share these resources with students and teachers, with an intellectually curious public, and with scholars who come from across the nation and more than 25 countries to conduct research that simply could not be carried out anywhere else. Even as we support these present uses, we are mindful that we also hold these collections in trust for future generations who, for years to come, will visit here to advance this ongoing work
