University invites Game of Thrones fans to search George RR Martin archives for clues

While Thronies await The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in the A Song of Fire and Ice saga, the Cushing Library at Texas A&M University suggests they look for possible story ideas amid the 300 boxes of papers donated by Martin in 1993

It might not be quite as expansive as the Citadel’s vast library, but the Texas university that holds George RR Martin’s papers has invited the public to pick through the fantasy author’s archives to discover clues about upcoming storylines in his Game of Thrones books.

Martin’s archive was first deposited at the Cushing library at Texas A&M University in 1993 – three years before A Game of Thrones, the first novel in his A Song of Ice and Fire series, was published. Today it runs to more than 300 boxes of notes, manuscripts and papers and more than 1,300 books. Now the university’s chancellor, John Sharp, is encouraging students and members of the public to look through the archive.
