The University of Indianna's Lilly Library contains an estimated 30,000 items relating to Boucher's life and career. The
White mss collection includes his editorial and personal correspondence with now legendary writers (Ray Bradbury, Raymond Chandler, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson); his own script work for radio (
Sherlock Holmes,
Ellery Queen), television (
Kraft Suspense Theater), and print anthologies like
Best Detective Stories of the Year and
A Treasury of Great Science Fiction. In addition to manuscripts for many of his novels, the collection also contains Boucher's translations for works by Pierre Boileau, Jorge Luis Borges, and Belgian mystery writer Georges Simenon. Of special interest are the transcripts of interviews with noted science fiction writers (Poul Anderson, Isaac Asimov, James Blish, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein, Rod Serling) conducted for a Playboy magazine panel discussion moderated by Boucher entitled, "1984 and Beyond" (this published in two parts in
Playboy in 1963).
