I’m compiling a donation of S2000 material to be given to the Collier Auto Museum and their Rev Institute Library. You can read about the library here. http://www.revsinstitute.org/ . Here's an article from our local paper Collier Collection.

I’ve spoken with their librarian and made arrangements with Dave Quinn to include his entire and massive collection of S2000 information as well as my own.

This is from their home page.

“Welcome to the Revs Institute for Automotive Research, Inc., library and archive Web site. We are an educational organization that advances the scholarly study of automotive history at The Collier Collection in beautiful Naples, Florida. Numbering more than one million items, these distinctive and highly specialized research books, documents and images are collected by Mr. Miles C. Collier to record the history of the automobile and the individuals and organizations associated with it. Scholars, journalists, automotive connoisseurs, hobbyists and preservationists will find our holdings formidable—an automotive history library and archive with few peers. The automobile plays a quintessential role as a transformative agent in modern history. As a practical technological device, its impact is enormous. Initially resisted and then succumbed to, it stimulated the social metamorphosis of Europe and the United States over the course of the 20th century, affecting economically developed modern states. It is now transforming developing societies, particularly in Asia, as they enter the 21st century.
The research materials in The Collier Collection illuminate the complex and intertwined facets of the automobile, which range from its function as individualized transportation, its manufacturing, its force as an agent for social change, its psycho-social personification, its recreational and sporting use, and a gradual but sustained critical appreciation of the best automobiles as legitimate objects of applied art equaling in significance the finest architecture or furniture.”

This site is worthwhile, take some time to peruse their content and mission statement especially if you’re a collector. You’ll note they want all the documentation they can get about why we like S2000’s, not just the car itself. The material being donated will be the foundation of their library regarding S2000’s.

If you have anything you feel is worthy of inclusion and would like to donate your material, please let me know.

Thanks

Admirable, but I'm not in a position to give anything up
Best of luck to you with the project

 

Cool, flats, and to you and Dave!

 

January is diet month. I'm 138 pounds lighter thanks to Grant.

 

Wow! That's a major weight loss. Less stuff! Nice that your collection found a home.

 

Yes and when I sent the pdf list of literature in Dave's collection to the librarian, he scarfed it up instantly.

If you read the newspaper article you'll get an idea of how large this project is. It's pretty cool. They offered to come and pick it all up at my office but I think I'll take it over in my S and take some pictures of the delivery.
