About The Automotive History Preservation Society Project
In 2010, Eric White collaborated with other automotive history enthusiasts to establish the Automotive History Preservation Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the past for the future. Eric spent numerous hours doing what he loved – researching automotive history facts and trivia then sharing it with the world through the Society’s web pages as well as through illustrations and graphics, many of which can be found throughout the website. When Eric died in 2016 the Library hosted on this site was named the Eric White Digital Library. Today we carry on his mission of this ever-growing Online Digital Library that hosts the knowledge extracted from the paper records of pioneers and current champions in the automobile industry and culture.
