Diana Gabaldon's archives to be housed at Texas A&M!

Cushing Memorial Library at Texas A&M

Interesting news today. Diana Gabaldon has chosen Texas A&M University's Cushing Memorial Library, located in College Station, TX (pictured above) as the permanent home for her archives!

From the university's press release:
The best-selling book series author, Dr. Diana Gabaldon, has selected Texas A&M University’s Cushing Memorial Library & Archives as the permanent home for her literary papers, notes and memorabilia from the historical science fiction, adventure-romance series and its hit streaming adaptation.

The collection will capture the evolution of Gabaldon’s storytelling and offer a glimpse into how her 1991 debut novel “Outlander” grew into a global phenomenon spanning novels, companion works and a long-running television adaptation.

Gabaldon’s archives will join Cushing’s extensive Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Collection, including materials from George R.R. Martin, Martha Wells ’86, Kristen Britain, and other acclaimed authors whose work have shaped literature and culture. The catalogued collection is one of the world’s largest.
I have no further details at this time. If I find out more information, I'll post here.

Congratulations, Diana! I would love to go and see it some day.
