Gabaldon has selected the university as the permanent home for her literary papers, notes and memorabilia from the historical science fiction series and its streaming television adaptation. The collection will capture the evolution of Gabaldon’s storytelling from her 1991 debut novel “Outlander” into a global phenomenon. Major literary collection Gabaldon’s “Outlander” series consists of nine novels and has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. She serves as co-producer, consultant and occasional scriptwriter for the television series, which premiered in 2014 and will conclude with its eighth season in 2026. The collection significantly enhances Texas A&M’s growing science fiction and fantasy research materials, which already includes collections from authors like Martha Wells and George R.R. Martin. While the “Game of Thrones” swords are perhaps the most requested items from Cushing’s sci-fi collection, there are also many other well-known items, including a 1726 first edition of “Gulliver’s Travels” by Jonathan Swift, and multiple signed copies of “Fahrenheit 451″ by Ray Bradbury. Bringing Gabaldon’s collection to Cushing highlights Texas A&M’s dedication to preserving literary legacies and provides students, scholars and readers with a lasting resource to explore the evolution of storytelling. “Adding Diana’s work to our collection is a touchstone moment,” said Jeremy Brett, Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Collection curator. “She is a beautiful storyteller who writes with depth and grace, and her work has touched the hearts of millions of readers.” Campus visit influences decision The A&M Libraries and the Texas A&M Foundation hosted Gabaldon and her husband Doug in September. The couple toured the campus and attended the Texas A&M vs. Auburn football game at Kyle Field with 108,000 fans. “My visit to Texas A&M was memorable,” Gabaldon said. “Everything was impressive, from the football game, to the Historic Press Room, to so many other things I’ve never experienced before.” The collection is not yet at the university. Officials anticipate receiving a portion of the physical materials in 2026. Gabaldon is currently working on her 10th book in the series, “A Blessing For A Warrior Going Out.” Copyright 2025 KBTX.
