Description: | These papers comprise public relations publications and other publicity material produced by Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company (Great Britain) Limited and by Goodyear International, for both internal circulation and external promotion of the company and its products. These records consist of incomplete but substantial sequences of in-house publications for Goodyear employees and dealers; various company histories and volumes of memoirs by P.W.Litchfield, Chairman of the Board; a set of souvenir brochures and programmes largely commemorating the inauguration of new factories or other significant events in the history of the company; newspaper cuttings and associated papers about the company and its products. These records are a rich source of information about the achievements and expansion of Goodyear from the 1920s to the 1970s, and the in-house publications also provide an insight into the experience of working for Goodyear, particularly at the company's factory at Wolverhampton during this period. Most of the material was produced from the 1920s to the 1960s, with some publications and news cuttings dating from the 1970s and 1980s. Papers dating from before the 1920s consist of a very small amount of press cuttings. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | 1902-1988 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
