The personal archives of one of Ireland’s greatest actors have been acquired by University College Cork. A treasure trove of items belonging to the late Richard Harris which has been gathered by his family will be permanently housed in UCC's Boole Library.

A preview of the collection was presented to members of the media by his son Jared Harris and UCC staff at the Richard Harris Suite at the Savoy Hotel in London.
