The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas has acquired playwright Arthur Miller’s archive for an undisclosed sum.

Arthur Miller was among the most influential playwrights of the 20th century 

It includes a wealth of notes, drafts and scripts from his glittering career.

Stephen Enniss, director of the Center, said: “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.

“For years to come, all primary source research into this major American playwright’s life and work will begin here.”

Miller was married to Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe between 1956 and 1961.

We have this wonderful piece of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia for sale.
