The Ultimate Drivers Safety School

Welcome to the Library, Archives, and Museum! 

We are acquiring office and archival space for the Foundation.  This space is located in Greer near the Michelin building.  The goal of the archive is expressed in the following mission statement:

MISSION STATEMENT

To maintain a historical archive of all things BMW and BMW Car Club related and to make available to the public, technical, historic and general information on BMW automobiles and BMW related-organizations.  Additionally, the BMW CCA Foundation encourages the preservation of historic automobiles and items of historic value.

The Library, Archives and Museum Program will create a repository for BMW-related historical documents, literature and paraphernalia, providing club members with access to rare and interesting BMW artifacts while insuring their continued existence.

The library and archive portion is developing very nicely and here are some of the services you can expect in the near future:

  • A 'master' listing of items in the Foundation's inventory
  • Instructions on how to obtain copies or your questions answered
  • Information on any charges associated with a service
  • Ability to visit the facilities in Greenville and inspect items first hand
  • Buy, sell, & trade historical BMW memorabilia such as brochures
  • Improve the quality and breadth of the Foundation's permanent collection
  • Publicize the Foundation's services in the Roundel and other outlets
We're searching for items to add to the Library and Archive!
If you have any of the following items, please contact us:

Archive Wish List
  • The following list will be updated on a regular basis for things we realize we need to fill a hole or complete a collection.  Just because you don't see an item on the list, doesn't mean we won't need it or be interested in it.  Please contact us anyways.  Thank you.
