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The Library, Archives and Museum Program will create a repository for BMW-related historical documents, literature and paraphernalia, providing club members with access to rare and interesting BMW artifacts while insuring their continued existence.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:
Future Services
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, and trade historical BMW memorabilia such as brochures, improve the quality and breadth of the Foundation's permanent collection, and publicize the Foundation's services in the Roundel and other outlets. Because in many cases the Foundation only possesses one copy of these important books, articles and materials, the policy is normally not to allow them to be removed from the Archives. We encourage people to visit our offices to view those materials, or we can, upon request, make copies of pertinent information, within reason.
We're searching for items to add to the Library and Archive! If you have any of the following items, please contact us directly at 864 329-1919. We'd love to talk with you!
What We're Looking For
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.
