AUSTIN, Texas – The archive of one of America’s most celebrated playwrights of the 20^th century is coming to the University of Texas at Austin.

From “Death of a Salesman” to “The Crucible,” Arthur Miller has covered themes detailing the changing societal climate over time. From his birth in 1915 to 2005, Miller’s entire lifetime archive has been donated to the Harry Ransom Center.

“Arthur Miller is one of our country’s finest playwrights, one who gave dramatic form to themes that are central to our still-evolving American story,” said Ransom Center Director Stephen Enniss. “For years to come, all primary source research into this major American playwright’s life and work will begin here.”

Miller penned his first play “No Villain” in 1936 while at the University of Michigan. His last work, “Finishing the Picture,” was completed in 2004, months before Miller died.

Among his numerous awards, Miller received a Pulitzer Prize for “Death of a Salesman” when he was 33 years old. He also received three Tony Awards, a Lifetime Achievement award, New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, Theater Guild National Award, National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Gold Medal for Drama.

“We are pleased to have found a fitting home for Dad’s voluminous notes and papers at the Harry Ransom Center, where they will be added to the rest of his earlier works already in place there,” said Miller’s son, Robert A. Miller.
