          "text": "Hi all,\n\nI'd like to raise again the possibility of a Gene Wolfe archive of\ncollected papers and documents (the Gene Wolfe Collection). I'd see it\nmodeled on the Philip K. Dick Collection at Fullerton (Cal State Fullerton,\nsee http://www.library.fullerton.edu/special.htm, item #4) which was begun\nduring the author's lifetime. This is a physical collection of manuscripts\nand letters which Dick sent over from time to time. On his death his\nunpublished work (most significantly the Exegesis) was also deposited there\nand is now accessible to researchers.\n\nAssuming this is a reasonable idea:\n\n1. Where would this collection be housed?\n\n2. What would be in it?\n\nI'd like to begin by making available three items:\n\n--an edited typescript for _Soldier of Arete_ sent to me by Tor in 1989\n[photocopy]\n--the Disclave Convention Program Book 1987, with a signed copy of Wolfe's\nstory \"The Most Beautiful Woman on the World\" [first place of publication,\nlater reprinted in _Endangered Species_]\n--an uncorrected proof copy of Endangered Species (purchased from Mark\nZiesing books)\n\nI think the benefits of such a collection are obvious. My items were hauled\ndown from the attic, probably other people have similar? Just to clarify I\nam not interested in selling my items, I just want them to go to good homes.\n\nDoes anybody work at a library which would permanently and accessibly house\nsuch a collection, eg in Chicago? Anybody know Wolfe to see what he thinks?\nIf there is no interest in this idea, where might I send this material? I\nthought of the SF Foundation at Liverpool University (my alma mater) but\nperhaps it ought to be in the USA.\n\nbest,\n__\nJeremy W. Crampton\t\t         http://geog.gmu.edu    jcrampto at gmu.edu\nDept. of Geography & Earth Science\n[MS 1E2]\t\t\t\t’Tis true; there’s magic in the web of it.\nGeorge Mason University\t\t\t\t\t--Othello (III.iv.69)\nFairfax, Va 22030"
