How Delta’s first 100 years took off—with grit, heart and a Boeing 767 bought by employees

Archives Director Marie Force emphasized that Delta’s employees have always valued keeping track of their history and said the museum relies heavily on artifact donations from current and former employees and their families. 

“The Delta employees started (the archives) themselves, you know, in the 1950s. Once that first generation was starting to retire, realizing that, oh, they're carrying this corporate memory out the door with them,” Force said. “How do we capture the story of what their contributions are and what they did? We're continuing that legacy.”
