Burroughs archive in New York!

Some excellent news and another incentive to visit the Big Apple. The Berg Collection of the New York Public Library has acquired William S. Burroughs' archive, which, according to BoingBoing, includes "11,000 pages of writings (published and unpublished), correspondence, collages, diaries, notebooks, photographs, and 50 hours of unreleased tape recordings." Now when I conduct my genealogical research I can browse through this collection with the intent of planning my master's thesis.
