Oversized Periodicals Shelving in Ford Archives at Fair Lane Estate, Dearborn, Michigan, 1953

01

Artifact Overview

As Ford Motor Company prepared for its 50th anniversary in 1953, staff established a corporate archive at founder Henry Ford's former estate in Dearborn, Michigan. (Ford and his wife Clara had passed away in 1947 and 1950, respectively.) The collection moved to another location in 1957 and would ultimately be housed at the Edison Institute--today known as The Henry Ford.
