What Monte Monreal will remember most about his time at the Harry Ransom Center isn’t so much the complexities of the Gutenberg Bible or Anne Sexton’s drafts for “Flee on Your Donkey,” although those items are two of his favorites in the collection. Instead, it’s the people.

Making the Banned Accessible: Digitizing the Hall-Troubridge Archive 

April 28, 2022 - Harry Ransom Center

Technician digitizing collection materials

by VEGA SHAH

The Ransom Center is home to the collection and papers of British author Radclyffe Hall (1880-1943) and her partner, Una Vincenzo, Lady Troubridge (1887-1963), a sculptor and translator. The couple, being openly lesbian partners, are remembered as LGBTQ pioneers, with Hall’s novel, The Well of Loneliness (1928), making lesbianism more visible in English society, despite the banning of the novel in England.

The Hall-Troubridge papers have been digitized and are accessible online in a new digital collection. Explore more than 40,000 images of Hall and Troubridge’s papers, letters, and photos, that provide insight into their personal correspondence, as well as topics such as gender, politics, and spirituality.
