NW-Mogazine Volume 34, Number 5 2 September & October 2014 West of Northwest Kit Raetsen, MOGNW President Editor’s Note: Kit reports from the Muskoka region of central Ontario (some 200 km north of Toronto) that being lost in the wilderness precludes a message for this issue of the Mogazine. She anticipates that she will be returned to civilization in time for October 4 Execu- tive Board Meeting and promises that she will have words of enlight- enment for the Nov/Dec Mogazine.

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.

  • Dale Lafollette's Vintage Motorphoto
    Dale LaFollette’s Vintage MOTORPHOTO Summer 2002 Most of the photos in this catalog are single images only, meaning that I have only one of them and I do not own the negatives. I do not sell copy photos unless they are of a really rare subject and then this fact is mentioned in the description. Most photos by known photographers have the photographer's stamp on the reverse and many have writing on them in the form of a description and\or cropping notes. No claims are made for photo authorship unless I have conclusive proof, therefore many of the photos listed under ANONYMOUS could very well have been taken by well known photographers. It is probable that most photos were the only one, or one of few printed from the negative. All photos are black and white unless "color" in mentioned. All photos are printed on fiber based paper unless RC to denote "resin coated" is in the description (see legend). None of the photos listed are mounted permanently (unless specifically noted) so you will be free to use or display them as you wish. These photos are being sold as collector's items, many may be copyrighted so you would reproduce them at your own risk. AUTOGRAPHED means that the person pictured has signed the photo or described article, SIGNED means signed by the photographer. To understand the dimensioning system PLEASE NOTE THE LEGEND BELOW!! LEGEND: ZZ= 12 x 16; XX=11 x 14; AA = 9.5 X 12; A = 8 X 10; B = 6.5 X 8.5; C = 5 X 7 RC =RESIN COATED PAPER PL = PRINTED LATER, ALL PHOTOS NOT MARKED PL ARE CONSIDERED VINTAGE.
