The Revs Institute, a leading automotive research facility in Naples, Florida, announced the acquisition of a major archive by the Collier Collection. The Collier Collection has obtained the Ludvigsen Library, repository of the automotive library of a leading author, researcher, and historian of the motorcar, Karl Ludvigsen.
The vast historical research collection housed at the Revs Institute now holds the automotive archives, photography and library of prize-winning author and authority Karl Ludvigsen. Ludvigsen’s famed photographic collection, his files, research, library books and periodicals—which include many valuable items in Italian, French and German—plus long runs of rare periodicals, will all become part of the Revs Institute research resources. They are available to scholars, historians, media, authors, institutions, businesses and academia.
Founded in 2009, The Revs Institute is a not for profit educational organization that advances the scholarly study of automotive history. “Although already substantial, the Revs resources will be immeasurably enhanced by the purchase of the archive of Karl Ludvigsen, the diligence and excellence of whose work is widely recognized throughout the world,” said Miles Collier, Principal of the Collier Collection.
