The Jorge Luis Borges Collection at the University of Texas at Austin

Abstract

This research note reports on a collection of manuscript and print materials relating to Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). The collection was acquired in 1999 by the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin. It features unpublished manuscripts in a variety of literary genres and an excellent representation of Borges's published works, including several rare books and periodicals from the 1920s, a period of increasing importance in Borges scholarship.
