The Revs Institute for Automotive Research acquired famed automotive photographer Tom Burnside’s collection of images chronicling decades of automotive racing, personalities and car collections. The collection, which numbers some 40,000 negatives and prints, will become part of the ever-growing archive at the Institute’s research center in Naples, Florida.

“Tom Burnside’s work has been highly regarded for decades and will add still more depth to our photographic history of the automobile,” said Miles Collier, president of The Revs Institute for Automotive Research, Inc.“More than just additional automotive images, this collection gives us a look behind the scenes at the drivers, mechanics and other personalities involved in the automotive world.”
