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
