Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

  • A M D G Beaumont Union Review Winter 2019
    A M D G BEAUMONT UNION REVIEW WINTER 2019 The Union were not the only ones that gathered in London on the 7th October: there were others dressed, for the most part, for the great outdoors and waving placards announcing ―Extinction Rebellion‖. I was not alone among those that arrived at the Caledonian with the thought that their slogan had much in common with ouselves. However, there is an obvious divergence: the rebels wish to alter society, try and create a better world as they see it although what they ask of society in the time frame is unrealistic. We, of course, have already suffered a catastrophic loss of habitat which will result in our extinction. In the meantime we are trying to preserve for as long as possible that philosophy, that approach to life that we learnt in our youth and which we try to retain and hopefully have passed onto future generations. We rebel against our demise and will do so for as long as we can. ―In the end we know there will be none to remember. Never mind. It was a good thing; and good things leave a mark‖. NOTICES Website We have a new section: “First 75 Years”. Go to History “dropdown”. It covers mainly in pictorial form aspects of School life up until 1936. There is a new edition of Vril written by Chris Fry. It may not be the happiest of subjects as we approach Christmas but to put it bluntly Chris is dying ( as in a way we all are). He is facing it positively through his strength of Faith.
