Preserving and Sharing the History of Motorsports

Your donation supports the continuing work of the International Motor Racing Research Center in Watkins Glen, NY. The Center welcomes serious researchers and the casual fans alike to share stories of race drivers, race series, and race cars captured on our shelves and walls, and brought to life through a regular calendar of public lectures and special events.

The Center’s collection documents the history of racing in the more than 6,000 books or 250 different motorsports magazines and newspapers titles; club and sanctioning body records; race results, programs and posters; papers of motorsports journalists and scholars; correspondence of race organizers; and still and moving images housed onsite and in our expanding off-site collections storage facilities.

Its knowledgeable research and archives staff assist hundreds of scholars, journalists, authors, documentary filmmakers, drivers and race car owners from all over the globe with inquiries about motorsports history every year.
