HIDDEN TREASURES
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's archives is home to the vast majority of the museum’s collection with approximately 90 percent of the mementos housed in this area.
"The archives is actually the ideal place for these items from a preservation aspect," commented Jason Aikens, the Hall’s collections curator. "In reality, the best thing for our mementos is for them not to see the light of day. But, nobody learns anything from them unless we share them with the public."
So, visit Profootballhof.com each Wednesday to view a new featured piece from our archives in Canton!

Running back Mercury Morris wore this jersey during the Miami Dolphins undefeated 1972 season. He rushed for exactly 1,000 yards that year as he joined Hall of Fame teammate Larry Csonka to make history as the first duo from the same team to rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. |
