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.

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manuscript drafts of published and unpublished works, correspondence, 43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.

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.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
