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.
