Heinlein Archives Put Online

RaymondRuptime writes "Good news for fans of the late SF master Robert Heinlein, 2 months after his 100th birthday celebration. Per the San Jose Mercury News, 'The entire contents of the Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein Archive — housed in the UC-Santa Cruz Library's Special Collections since 1968 — have been scanned in an effort to preserve the contents digitally while making the collection easily available to both academics and the general public... The first collection released includes 106,000 pages, consisting of Heinlein's complete manuscripts — including files of all his published works, notes, research, early drafts and edits of manuscripts.' You can skip the brief article and go straight to the archives."

Umm??? I thought Heinlein...

[Anonymous Coward]

was just another second-rate American pulp writer with a fascist bent. Why are US universities spending money on this kind of operation?

Is it because the US has so few writers of any note that we have to exaggerate the importance of the few we do have? I thought we regularly had to import writers from Britain, or copy their work if we wanted anything half-decent, and any cultured half-competent Americans ran over there as soon as they could - people like Blish and Kubrick, for instance.

Cool! A Minnie Driver/Anne Hathaway love scene.

From the margin of one early draft, "That Ginny chick's a POA. I wanna lick the sweat from her hopefully hairy armpits. I just wish it were red hair like my momma's."

What a perv!
