STEINBECK LINKS Founded in 1971, the Steinbeck Research Center at San Jose State University is one of the most important Steinbeck archives in the world. The collection houses over 10,000 items--manuscripts, original letters, inscribed first editions, secondary works, film memorabilia, a large number of photographs, films, and cassettes. Scholars, students, and members of the community are welcome to use the collection. Since its inception in 1977, the John Steinbeck Project has raised over $142,000 for Southampton College of Long Island University. Funds have been used to establish a Visiting Writers Program, the annual Steinbeck Lecture, student writing awards and scholarships, and acquisitions for the College Library. In addition to these programs, one of the original goals of the Project was to create a Writers Resource Room in the library in honor of John Steinbeck, the Nobel Prize-winning author who spent the last years of his life on the East End of Long Island. Only one year after the project was initiated, the John Steinbeck Writers Room was opened. John Steinbeck's Pacific Grove A self-guided driving tour of John Steinbeck's Pacific Grove.
