The Collections: The University of Texas at Austin, a new book from the University of Texas Press spotlights more than 80 collections -- some familiar and others virtually unknown outside their fields of research -- acquired since the university's inauguration in 1883.

Edited by Andree Bober with foreward by UT Austin President Gregory L. Fenves and essay by Lewis Gould, the book was published on January 22, 2016
