Harry Ransom Center Raises $30,000 to Restore Gone with the Wind Dresses

Just three weeks after the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin kicked off a campaign asking for donations to restore five of the original dresses used in the film Gone with the Wind, part of their very large David O. Selznick Collection, which contains more than 5,000 boxes of the legendary film producer’s archives, the museum has announced that they’ve already reached their $30,000 goal. They received donations from more than 600 people across 44 states and 13 countries, helping them to reach their needed total in record pace.
