http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55965159

The series is comprised of a set of binders that hold photographic reproductions of continuous tone photographs, documents, and printed materials. Although primarily copy prints of original material that is held in the Archives, there are some items that originated from outside sources. Compiled by archivists and arranged by subject, the Ford Motor Company and Ford family related subjects include nostalgic road scenes, assembly lines, automobile racing, truck history, and aviation history. Also represented are Ford automobiles by year, the evolution of the Continental and the Lincoln by year, and celebrities in Ford and Lincoln automobiles. Ford family topics include selections from Henry Ford's "jottings," portraits of Henry Ford, and Edsel Ford associated material. Among the publications represented are portions of the Canadian Ford Times, several volumes of the Ford Times, and illustrative material utilized for a history of the Ford Motor Company. There is also a small compilation of images relating to Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford.
