From the magnificent Pforzheimer collection of English literature to the page proofs of Joyces Ulysses, from the First Photograph to the plays of Tom Stoppard and Arthur Miller, the Ransom Centers collections are dazzling in their range and stunning in their originality.The Ransom Center is indeed a fine institution, but I believe that the most exciting years are yet to come. We continue to expand and deepen our twentiethcentury collections, acquiring the archives of major figures—such as Norman Mailer and David Mamet—who will likely form the foundation of culture in the next century. We have also reached a critical threshold in the expansion of our research mission. Our fellowship program has become one of the largest of its kind, supporting the research of more than 40 scholars each year who join several thousand others at the Center to study among our collections. And we are reaching the broader public in greater numbers than ever before with our exhibitions and programs, which have drawn more than 350,000 visitors to the Center since the completion of our building renovation.
