Since the Harry Ransom Center acquired the archive of Colombian Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez, Ransom Center staff have been collaborating to process, digitize, and perform conservation treatments for the materials in the collection. Upon the archive’s arrival at the Ransom Center, photography, book, and paper conservators inspected the many boxes of materials in order to determine the physical condition and immediate needs of the collection. At first glance, most materials appeared to be in very good condition with nothing needing urgent care. http://bit.ly/1NuydQm http://bit.ly/1NuydQm+ More than 75 boxes of documents constitute the archive of the Colombian-born author, journalist, screenwriter and key figure in Latin American history and politics. Researchers will have access to manuscript drafts of published and unpublished works, correspondence, 43 photograph albums, 22 scrapbooks, research material, notebooks, newspaper clippings, screenplays and ephemera.http://bit.ly/1LVtcB0 http://bit.ly/1LVtcB0+ In addition to visiting the Ransom Center in person, anyone may access an online selection of digitized items from the García Márquez archive. Selections include a letter from García Márquez to author Salman Rushdie, his corrected draft typescript of the epilogue to *Chronicle of a Death Foretold*, typed note cards relating to *The General in His Labyrinth*, and an audio recording of García Márquez’s acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982. http://bit.ly/1jIL0Fc http://bit.ly/1jIL0Fc+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
