The UT Libraries Science Fiction collection has been built intentionally since the 1970s, when Harold W. Billings, the director of the Libraries from 1972-2003, personally curated and donated science fiction novels for the Perry-Castañeda Library. We continue to build the collection with: 

• Award winners, including annual Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards 
• Scholarly criticism of science fiction books, film, and television 
• Notable films 
• Graphic novels and comic books
• Works by authors from diverse and marginalized backgrounds 
• Works in translation and in languages other than English
