Expand your cultural horizons with a visit to the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin. Since its creation in 1957 by former university provost Harry Huntt Ransom, the center has been a repository of some of the rarest and most valuable manuscripts and photographs from around the globe. The collection includes original page proofs of James Joyce's Ulysses. The literary archives also contain manuscripts of Russell Banks, Jorge Luis Borges, John Fowles, Adrienne Kennedy, Doris Lessing, Penelope Lively, David Mamet, Isaac Bashevis Singer and Leon Uris. In addition to preserving and safeguarding these important collections, the center supports a wide variety of programs for scholars, students and the public at large. Tours are offered at 12 p.m. on Tuesdays and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
