About this Event

Learn about the changing market for archives and rare books with panelists Richard Austin, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Books & Manuscripts at Sotheby’s, and Sarah Funke Butler, the founder of Funke Literary, an agency specializing in archives. In conversation with Harry Ransom Center curators Megan Barnard and Aaron T. Pratt, they will offer a window into the world that moves books, manuscripts, and a wide variety of other media from creators and collectors to new generations that will appreciate and care for them—including institutions like the Ransom Center.

A reception will follow the program.
