Roddis Collection
THE HENRY FORD
In 2014, co-author Jane Bradbury donated the
majority of the Roddis Collection clothing to The
Henry Ford, where it will be exhibited in a special
exhibition and become part of their extensive
dress collection. Bradbury also donated some of
the ephemera found in the Roddis house such as
sewing books, a prom book, Vogue and Child Life
magazines, and playbills. Other Roddis family
members donated archival objects and travel
materials, including travel brochures. The Henry
Ford will make this material available to the public
for future research.
