The Caren Archive :: Over 1 Million Historical Collectibles



The Caren Archive is the most significant private collection of rare newspapers and broadsides in the United States. The Archive contains an incredible array of original and historic newspapers, periodicals, manuscripts and photographs -- literally documenting how history unfolded on paper. If you're considering purchasing or selling items relating to major events from the 16th century through the 21st, The Caren Archive is the best place to start. Eric C. Caren, proprietor of The Archive, began collecting baseball cards, stamps, coins and more when he was 5 years old. At age 11, he discovered some newspapers in an abandoned house and the rest is history. After graduating from University of Maryland with a business degree, he directed a rare newspaper gallery in London at the then newly opened Covent Garden Market. Upon returning to the U.S. in 1983, Caren founded The Caren Archive and has been a full-time dealer in historical collectibles ever since. In 2001, the Newseum in Washington, DC, acquired more than 30,000 historic newspapers from The Caren Archive to build the majority of its permanent collection and feature exhibit. To this day, Caren is still as passionate a collector as ever. Eric C. Caren P.O. Box 185 Lincolndale, NY 10540 eccaren@prodigy.net 914 248 8038	Eric C.
