Who we are
The Harry Ransom Center has achieved international recognition as one of the world’s preeminent collectors, keepers, and interpreters of creativity. The Center’s extensive collections provide unique insight into the creative process of some of our finest writers and artists, deepening understanding and appreciation of literature, photography, film, art, and the performing arts among students, scholars, and the general public.
What we are fundraising for
The Ransom Center’s mission is to encourage discovery, inspire creativity, and advance understanding of the humanities for a broad and diverse audience through the preservation and sharing of its extraordinary collections. Funding the Ransom Center requires support well beyond what UT can provide. Private contributions strengthen everything the Center does, from new acquisitions and special exhibitions, to preservation and conservation of rare and irreplaceable collections. We invite you to contribute to the Director’s Initiatives Fund, which provides essential support for acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation, and outreach.
Your impact
Much of the Center’s success comes from the generosity and advocacy of individual collectors, donors, and friends. Have you considered counting yourself among the supporters who help the Ransom Center thrive? Your gift will be matched 1:1 through a $10,000 challenge from a loyal and generous friend of the Center. Give today and help the Ransom Center and its remarkable collections foster understanding and appreciation of the arts and humanities, sparking delight, learning, and creativity in our growing audience here in Austin and around the world.
“The Ransom Center is a true treasure of The University of Texas at Austin. We're proud to support its continued growth and work.”
“I go here every day at exactly noon. And every day I am full of surprises. Oh such wonder!
“THESE OPEN SHELVES ARE GOING TO KEEP INVITING OPEN MINDS.”
