About the GM Heritage Center Archive

The GM Heritage Center is home to hundreds of the world's most significant cars and trucks. It also houses a massive collection of archived documents, artifacts and assorted automobilia. From original brochures, manuals and build sheets, to rare examples of badging and signage, this unique and growing repository reflects the historical accomplishments upon which GM is building its future.

Some of these items come directly from GM facilities. Others are donated by individuals, including many former GM employees, whose personal collections contain items of significant corporate historical value. We welcome these additions to GM's permanent historical record.

This collection is part of GM's Global Media Archive, which houses millions of original photographs, thousands of motion picture films and video masters from around the world.

These one-of-a-kind visual works chronicle the people of GM and their contributions, documenting the workforce, fashion, culture, and events of the day. Nearly every vehicle that was designed, prototyped, or marketed by GM is likely to be found in this Archive.

Some of these images are available to the public for purchase through gmphotostore.com. Professional researchers are also available (for a fee) to help find what you are looking for and ensure the material is licensed properly for your use. To contact the archive researchers directly, please email your request to: support@gmmediaarchive.com

The Archive's mission is to preserve, organize and catalog GM's historical material. All revenue generated by the Archive is used to restore and digitize this content.
