I was curious and it turns out yes, the collection is named after the same Seth MacFarlane who created Family Guy.

MacFarlane landed in the title because he donated the money that allowed the library to purchase the papers

Where the hell is Sagan’s Nobel? Yes, yes, he didn’t stop any wars or whatever, but he deserves (IMO) to be lionized as much as humanly possible.
