During his research, author Paul Schilperoord discovered a large part of Josef Ganz's original archives, consisting of many hundreds of original photos and photo negatives as well as documents on microfilm, copies of his files in both private and official archives, and many original issues of Motor-Kritik and other period magazines. Our aim is to preserve these archives, and keep on expanding them with new documents, articles and photos.
