Background

The Publications Collection of The Crittenden Automotive Library includes books, magazines, reports, official government correspondence, notices of official government decisions, newsletters, court documents, other official notices, and other such material.

Individual news articles, commentaries, press conference & interview transcripts, Federal Register notices, and speeches are in the Articles Index.

Note on patents: the "horseless carriage," as early automobiles were known, were not themselves an invention "from scratch" but the application of numerous existing technologies into one package. Not all of the patent documents in the Library may have been directly applied to automobiles of the day. Many of them are technologies originally used on wagons, carriages, and bicycles, the nonmotorized precursors to cars and motorcycles, technologies including tires, wheels, wheel hubs, and other "running gear." These, as well as general technologies of the rapidly developing internal combustion engine, are included here as historical background into the invention of the automobile and the earliest applications of it.

The Home Page contains a year-by-year index of most of the Library's publications, but not all information is able to be organized by date of publication. Volumes that cross multiple years or are otherwise not able to be classified by an exact year are indexed below. For information indexed by year, data reports are organized by the year of data collection, shop manuals are organized by the model year of vehicle, and crash reports are organized by the date of the incident.
