ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

This is the website of the Motor Vehicle Hazard Archives Project (MVHAP). Begun in 2003 under a grant from the Santos Family Foundation, the Project provides (1) useful immediate information to consumers about vehicle safety and (2) access to a growing volume of historical materials documenting the progress of motor vehicle hazard control since the mid-twentieth century. The Archive Project’s document and film materials are being organized into thematic collections. Content lists and excerpts from these are posted on this website as they become available.

Services offered on this website, found by clicking on the appropriate tabs above, are as follows:

For Consumers: Searchable safety information about specific vehicles and vehicles in general, including "Car Book" ratings, NHTSA and IIHS crash test results, our exclusive "Best Cars" list, recalls, investigations and owner complaints.

Current Developments: Highlights of new and recent events related to motor vehicle hazard and crash injury control in the regulatory, legislative, judicial and industry worlds. Thousands of pages of document pages are already available.

Collections: As Archive materials are organized, they are being placed into thematic collections from which exemplar documents, with explanatory narratives, will become accessible for downloading and searching.

Bibliography: Essential reading that serves as an introduction to the field of motor vehicle injury control - books, journals, papers and other published source documents not otherwise found in Collections is listed in this section.
