Subseries 7: Manuscript Files

Manuscripts

The Northrop Grumman Corporation papers document the history of Northrop Aircraft, Inc. and Northrop Corporation, as well as its products, employees, and founder, John Knudsen Northrop. The collection is divided into three series: Northrop Corporation Archives; Aircraft Division Records; and Photographs and Negatives. The bulk of the material is within the Corporation Archives series, which was compiled by Ira Chart, the Aircraft Division/Aircraft Group historian. The series are interrelated and cover similar subject matter. Though there is a Photographs and Negatives series, some photographs can be found throughout the collection. The collection is generally arranged by subject and format of material within. It includes brochures, reports, manuals, photographs, memoranda, newsletters, and other materials.
