BOSTON, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Harvard University says its Houghton Library will house the late U.S. author John Updike's manuscripts, photos and correspondence.
The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, who was a member of the Harvard class of 1954, is said to have conducted much of the research for his fiction on the university's campus. He died of lung cancer in January at age 76.
The Boston Globe reported university officials declined to say how much was paid for the books and papers that will establish the library as the center for studies on Updike's life and work.
Updike's novels include "Rabbit, Run," and "The Witches of Eastwick" and the Pulitzer Prize winners "Rabbit At Rest" and "Rabbit Is Rich."
The Houghton Library houses the papers of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, T.S. Eliot and Edward Hoagland, the Globe said.
