University Archivist Erik Nordberg will provide an overview of sources and techniques for researching historic properties and buildings in the Copper Country. The presentation will identify historical records housed at public records offices and local archives that can be useful in understanding the history of your property, the construction of your building, and the people who may have lived or worked there.
The event will take place at 7:00pm on Tuesday, May 19, 2009, at the MTU Archives and Copper Country Historical Collections, on the ground floor of the Van Pelt and Opie Library at Michigan Tech. The presentation is part of the ‘Archival Speakers Series’ and is free and open to the public.
