1970réf. 218421970. Merrill Samuel L. Antique motorcycle collecting archive. 1970s-mid 1990s. This archive documents the organized preservation of early American motorcycles through the activities of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America and related regional groups showing how collectors identified restored and circulated pre-1916 machines as historical objects.

The archive falls within the late twentieth-century movement to preserve early industrial and mechanical heritage when private collectors and clubs established standards for restoration documentation and historical classification of vehicles produced before World War I. The presence of named machines identified riders and formal publications shows how this network operated through both social gatherings and printed exchange linking regional chapters to a national collecting community. Light toning and handling to printed materials minor edge wear to photographs and mild oxidation to metal plaques; overall very good. A concentrated record of early motorcycle preservation practice documenting how collectors sustained and interpreted pre-1916 machines within a structured historical framework. unknown
