The archive of Eve Babitz, the late Los Angeles author, has found a home.

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens has acquired a collection of art, manuscripts, journals, photographs and correspondence from the late author spanning from 1943 to 2011. The museum also announced that it will house the work of fellow L.A. writers Eloise Klein Healy, the city’s first poet laureate, and Gloria Stuart, the late artist and Oscar-nominated actress.
