Erin C. Caren
Eric C. Caren caught the collecting fever at a young age. The discovery of some old newspapers in an abandoned house when he was 11 years of age led to a lifetime interest in antiquarian newspapers, broadsides, photography, and other Americana. He is widely considered to have built the largest collection of rare newspapers and other news forms in the nation. Mr. Caren has authored nine books relating to historical newspapers –The Extra series. He owns the Caren Archive, Inc. and is a partner with Dr. Stephen A. Goldman in the business that bears his name as well as in OldNews, Inc. He is a member of The Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA), a member of the prestigious American Antiquarian Society, a former Director of The Manuscript Society. Additionally, he serves as a consultant to The Newseum in Washington, D.C. This history of news museum will be located on Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol. Mr. Caren is proud to be associated with what will undoubtedly become one of the major museums in the nation.
