World of Speed collection, 1905-1997

This collection consists of historical and documentary materials previously held by World of Speed, a motorsports museum that was located in Wilsonville, Oregon, in the 2010s. The collection contains papers, photographs, and video. Papers in the collection include the constitution of the Oregon Motor Racing Contest Board; records of the Western Auto Racing Association consisting of rules for cars, prize payment charts, and points scored in races in Oregon and Washington; and a 1925 tourist brochure map titled "Queen of the Northwest Resorts," showing automobile loop routes in Washington state. Photographs in the collection consist of images of the 1905 cross-country race from New York City to Portland, Oregon; hand-colored postcards of automobiles with captions in French and German; a photograph of a woman sitting on the hood of a 1920s car; a photograph of the model for the proposed Delta Dome stadium in Portland; and a photograph of racecar driver Art Scoville. The collection also includes two copies of a 1997 documentary, "From Hellgate to Portland." One copy is on a VHS tape, and the other on a DVD.
