In 1982, a year before her death, Swanson sold her archives of over 600 boxes for an undisclosed sum, including photographs, artwork, copies of films and private papers, including correspondence, contracts, and financial dealings, to the [[Harry Ransom Center]] at the University of Texas at Austin. Upon her death in 1983, much of the remainder of her holdings was purchased by {{nowrap|UT-Austin}} at an auction held at the [[Doyle New York]] gallery. An undisclosed amount of memorabilia was also gifted to the HRC Center between 1983 and 1988.<ref name="Harry Ransom Center" />
