The massive collection -- which spans some 2,800 linear feet and required two tractor trailers to transport to Durham from CR’s headquarters in Yonkers, New York -- includes archival materials, books, photographs, and artifacts documenting the history of the organization, from its founding during the Great Depression to its eventual prominence as a household name for safety, fairness and informed decision-making.
