Harry Ransom Center rare holdings

The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas houses research collections and rare items that are not widely known to casual visitors, including a copy of the Gutenberg Bible and Nicéphore Niépce's earliest surviving photograph. These items are part of the center's rare-books and photography collections and are displayed in rotating exhibitions and research contexts. The Ransom Center functions as both a public museum and an academic research library.
