The Newspaper Clippings collection subgroup is organized into three series. The Clipping Books series, 1879-1951 (3.6 cubic ft., 199 volumes, and 52 microfilm reels), Acc. 7, contains newspaper clippings available in three formats: original volumes, microfilm, and compact discs. The original volumes document Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company events recorded in Detroit newspapers and other newspapers across the United States from 1911 to 1951. Most of the volumes are arranged chronologically but there is some overlap between months. Several Ford Motor Company events and interests of Henry Ford are singled out in separate subject-arranged volumes. For preservation purposes, almost all the original volumes were microfilmed. In addition there are digital copies on compact disc of newspaper clippings from original volumes arranged chronologically from 1911 to 1929. The newspaper clippings covering 1930 to 1951 were never scanned. The Detroit Bank Crisis Newspaper Clipping series, 1933 (0.4 cubic ft.), Acc. 956, contains unarranged newspaper clippings documenting the Detroit bank crisis of 1933. The General Newspaper Clipping collection series, 1899-1977 (4.4 cubic ft., 9 oversize boxes, and 1 oversize folder), Acc. 984, contains miscellaneous unarranged newspaper clippings covering a variety of topics related to Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company and the automobile industry, as well as scrapbooks on aviation covering 1920 to 1928 and Willow Run during 1942.

8.4 cubic ft., 199 v., 52 microfilm reels, 9 oversize boxes, and 1 oversize folder.
