												  Research Center New and Unprocessed Archival AccessionsNEW 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.

OAmerica was at the peak of the go-go 1990s, and its love affair with bigger, faster, better had translated for the au- tomaker into sports utility vehicle (SUV) sales by the mil- lions, accompanied by extraordinary profits. The company had introduced the Explorer in 1990 and created a sensation. That first year and every year since, Ex- plorer has been the world’s best-selling SUV. The larger Expe- dition and even larger Excursion followed in subsequent years, scoring with customers as well as stockholders, who ad- mired their profitability. For six consecutive years beginning in 1993, Ford averaged more than $5 billion in annual profits. By 1998, Ford Motor had one-year gross sales in excess of $140 billion. More important, the company sat on a whop- ping $22 billion in excess cash in 1999. The only question in Dearborn and on Wall Street seemed to be, how could it be used bestCOPYRIGHTED to make a giant company bigger MATERIAL and stronger? William Clay “Bill” Ford Jr., the great-grandson of Ford Mo- tor Company founder and industrial revolutionary Henry Ford, was in just the first day of his second month on the job as chair- man of the board of the world’s second-largest automaker.
