==Legacy== [[File:Dunsany Castle in Meath mist.jpg|thumb|[[Dunsany Castle and Demesne|Dunsany Castle]] (1181β), County Meath, Ireland]] Dunsany's literary rights passed to a will trust first managed by Beatrice, Lady Dunsany, and are currently handled by Curtis Brown of London and partner firms worldwide. (Some past US deals, for example, have been listed by Locus Magazine as by SCG.){{citation needed|date=July 2020}} A few Dunsany works are protected for longer than normal copyright periods in some territories, notably most of the contents of the ''Last Book of Jorkens'',<ref name="LstBkCpyrtPg">{{Cite book |last1=Dunsany |first1=Lord |title=The Last Book of Jorkens |date=2002 |publisher=Night Shade Books |location=San Francisco, CA and Portland, OR |page=Copyright |edition=1st}}</ref> and some short stories published on the Dunsany website or elsewhere by the family in the early 2000s.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} Dunsany's primary home, over 820 years old, can be visited at certain times. Tours usually include the Library, but not the tower room where he often liked to work. His other home, Dunstall Priory, was sold to an admirer, [[Grey Ruthven, 2nd Earl of Gowrie|Grey Gowrie]], later head of the Arts Council of the UK, and then passed to other owners. The family still owns a farm and downland in the area and a Tudor cottage in Shoreham village.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Anglo-Irish lords of the manor cling on to their big estates |url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/anglo-irish-lords-of-the-manor-cling-on-to-their-big-estates-35074914.html|access-date=23 October 2021 |website=independent |date=24 September 2016 |language=en}}</ref> The grave of Dunsany and his wife can be seen in the church graveyard there. (Most previous barons are buried in the grounds of Dunsany Castle.){{citation needed|date=July 2020}} Dunsany's manuscripts are collected in the family archive, including some specially bound volumes of some of his works. Scholarly access is possible through the curator. Seven boxes of Dunsany's papers are held at the [[Harry Ransom Center]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Baron Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett Dunsany: An Inventory of His Collection at the Harry Ransom Center |url=https://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingAid.cfm?eadID=00773 |access-date=26 August 2022 |website=norman.hrc.utexas.edu}}</ref>
