Does anyone on this forum have any information about the Bob Stolze photo collection? I have conducted a search but couldn't find any previous references. From what I know, which is very little, Bob Stolze had a collection of US racing photos from the 1940s. His pictures have appeared in publications and on the internet but I have no idea whether he was the photographer or simply the owner of the pictures. I understand that he is no longer with us. I found a reference from 2003 which referred to the 'late Bob Stolze'. So I am wondering what happened to his photographic collection. Perhaps some of our American friends on this forum know something? Any clues would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just a small hint in the shape of his obituary.

 

It seems that Eric Kenneth Stolze from Los Angeles, California, is his nephew. Maybe he can help. (His address and even phone number are easy to find via Google.)

... and one of his brothers, Craig Stolze, was a sports writer.

You might try the Henry Ford Museum, near or in Detroit.

They have bought several entire collections.
