| | Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 1 | Title: | Frederick C. Crawford Family Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Crawford, Frederick C. Family | | | | Dates: | 1869-1994 | | | | Abstract: | Frederick C. Crawford (1891-1994) was a Cleveland, Ohio, industrialist and philanthropist. Crawford headed Thompson Products, Inc. (later TRW Inc.) as it moved from an automotive and aircraft parts manufacturer into the aviation and aerospace industries. A leader of Cleveland's philanthropic community, Crawford served on the boards of many cultural institutions. He was appointed to the Western Reserve Historical Society Board of Trustees in 1944 and later served as it's president. He was instrumental in the transfer of the Thompson Auto Album and Aviation Museum collection to WRHS in the 1960s, which became the nucleus of the Frederick C. Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum of WRHS. Crawford was married twice; to Audrey Cecelia Bowles in 1932, and to Kathleen M. Saxon in 1975. The collection consists of individual and group portraits of Frederick C. Crawford and various Crawford family members. Views of various Crawford family homes are included, as are images from travels taken by Crawford. Portraits and views of Steel Products Co. and Thompson Products Inc. facilities and employees, including Thompson Products president Charles E. Thompson and Thompson family members, are also part of the collection. Pioneers in the aviation and aerospace industries are represented in the collection and include James E. Doolittle, T. Keith Glennan, aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran, and three time Thompson Trophy Race winner Roscoe Turner. Others depicted include Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Claire Chennault, and William M. McVey. Groups Crawford was associated with, including the Western Reserve Historical Society, Harvard University, and various national aeronautic associations and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), are also part of the collection, as are portraits and views depicting the National Air Races. | | | | Call #: | PG 513 | | | | Extent: | 16.10 linear feet (36 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Crawford, Frederick C., 1891- -- Photograph collections. | Crawford family -- Photograph collections. | Thompson, Charles E. 1870-1933 -- Photograph collections. | Thompson family -- Photograph collections. | Doolittle, James Harold, 18961993- -- Photograph collections. | Glennan, Thomas Keith, 1905- -- Photograph collections. | McVey, William M., 1905- -- Photograph collections. | Cochran, Jacqueline -- Photograph collections. | Turner, Roscoe, 1895-1970 -- Photograph collections. | MacArthur, Douglas, 1880-1964 -- Photograph collections. | Eisenhower, Dwight D.
