Glenn Lord was the long time agent for the heirs to the REH rights, from the 1960s into the late 1990s. He was also unquestionably the greatest and most persistent and tenacious researcher of REH ever. Among his efforts was the acquisition of the bulk of the typescripts (i.e., the original typed pages) of REH.

By the time of his passing in 2011, Glenn had amassed around 20,000 pages of original REH typescript. Pursuant to his wishes, these were donated to the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.

But before they arrived at HRC, Paul Herman, a board member of the Foundation and long-time friend of Glenn, was allowed to create scans of all the pages. Challengingly, due to flooding that occurred in Houston in years past, a few thousand pages of typescript had become jumbled, and had to be identified and re-sorted. This identification and indexing work also fell to Paul, and after many hours of work spread over the course of years, virtually all the typescript pages have been identified and indexed. For researchers looking to find out about any original REH work, including early drafts, etc., the Foundation can provide information.
