AACA Library and Buick

The AACA Library & Research Center located in Hershey, PA has recently received the first 8 filing cabinets of Terry Dunham's extensive collection of Buick Literature thanks to the Buick Heritage Alliance. AACA also house's BHA's literature and has extensive Buick holdings of its own. We also house the Tom Gerrard literature collection which contains Buick literature as well.

Our library is a FREE public library and everyone, members and non-members are welcome to visit and research our collection of over 1,000,000 items. Our three librarians, all with their Master's degree, will do research and copying for a minimal fee.

Stop in meet week if you are here for the annual Hershey pilgrimage and also consider the library's excess literature sale on Tuesday 4-7 PM.

By the way, the club also now has three National Awards for Buicks: A touring award, pre-war and post -war categories.

Steve, could you please explain a little bit about these Buick awards?. Maybe I have been too busy playing with the old Buicks to know what is going on here with this. This must be something new that has slipped by me.

Terry, National Awards are like our Oscars. Each year a 20 plus member team works every show and tour and nominates cars in various categories. The following link will show you all the awards and criteria: http://www.aaca.org/Publications/national-awards-2.html Our entire team meets every December and reviews all the cars nominated and then we pick a winner for each category. Our annual meeting is in Philadelphia every February and we finish with a great banquet and bestow the awards (beautiful 7# lead crystal trophies) to the lucky winners.
