The Ultimate Archive of Automotive History
Autopaper is one of the largest and most comprehensive archives of original automotive literature in the world, preserving printed automotive history from the late 1800s to the present day.
Our collection includes factory service manuals, owner’s manuals, sales brochures, dealer materials, wiring diagrams, engineering publications, and other rare documents that trace the evolution of the automobile across generations.
What began as a private collection built over decades has grown into a living archive serving collectors, restorers, historians, and automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
A Legacy of Preservation
Autopaper was built on years of dedicated collecting and careful curation, forming an archive unmatched in depth and breadth. Each piece represents a moment in automotive history — documenting design, engineering, marketing, and cultural shifts throughout the life of the automobile.
Today, that legacy continues under new stewardship with a renewed focus on organization, preservation, and long-term accessibility.
Supporting the McCandless Collection
Autopaper now plays an important role in supporting the broader mission of the McCandless Collection, a nonprofit effort dedicated to preserving and celebrating automotive history.
Proceeds from Autopaper help sustain archival preservation efforts, expand access to historical materials, and support ongoing automotive heritage initiatives.
Through this connection, Autopaper is not only a marketplace — it is part of a long-term commitment to documenting and protecting the printed record of the automobile.
Our Mission
Autopaper exists to preserve, organize, and share the printed history of the automobile. By maintaining an authoritative archive and continually expanding access to rare materials, we help ensure that automotive history remains accessible to future generations.
