Ask Revs

The heart of the Library is its photographic collections, organized into The Revs Digital Library.

Through the years, the Library has acquired materials of some the world's most significant automotive photographers. The images document the dawn of the motoring age, the golden age of racing, and on into the 21st century. The types of images vary widely, from glass plate and nitrate negatives, slides and transparencies of all sizes, and now born-digital pictures. The collections contain about 1 million negatives and slides, and about the same number of prints.

Beginning in 2012, the Library began digitizing its collections, and now, with over 500,000 photographic images available, it is one of the largest online archives in the world.
