The Henry Ford

To conduct a detailed condition survey of 60,000 partially fire-damaged nitrate, acetate film-based photonegatives in the Ford Motor Company archival collections. These six important collections of photonegatives date from 1896 to 1980 and document Henry Ford's personal, family, and public life; several divisions of Ford Motor Company; the Stout Aircraft Company; the Lincoln Motor Company; and the Autocar Company.
