    NEW AND UNPROCESSED ARCHIVAL ACCESSIONS List Published: April 2020 Benson Ford Research Center The Henry Ford 20900 Oakwood Boulevard ∙ Dearborn, MI 48124-5029 USA [email protected] ∙ www.thehenryford.org New and Unprocessed Archival Accessions April 2020 OVERVIEW The Benson Ford Research Center, home to the Archives of The Henry Ford, holds more than 3000 individual collections, or accessions. Many of these accessions remain partially or completely unprocessed and do not have detailed finding aids. In order to provide a measure of insight into these materials, the Archives has assembled this listing of new and unprocessed accessions. Accessions are listed alphabetically by title in two groups: New Accessions contains materials acquired 2018-2020, and Accessions 1929-2017 contains materials acquired since the opening of The Henry Ford in 1929 through 2017. The list will be updated periodically to include new acquisitions and remove those that have been more fully described. Researchers interested in access to any of the collections listed here should contact Benson Ford Research Center staff (email: [email protected]) to discuss collection availability. ACCESSION NUMBERS Each accession is assigned a unique identification number, or accession number. These are generally multi-part codes, with the left-most digits indicating the year in which the accession was acquired by the Archives. There, are however, some exceptions. Numbering practices covering the majority of accessions are outlined below. - Acquisitions made during or after the year 2000 have 4-digit year values, such as 2020, 2019, etc. - Acquisitions made prior to the year 2000 have 2-digit year values, such as 99 for 1999, 57 for 1957, and so forth.
