RESEARCH TRAVEL AWARDS

MICHIGAN TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES
AND COPPER COUNTRY HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS
Houghton, Michigan

The Michigan Technological University Archives and Copper Country Historical Collections offers research awards to support travel, food and lodging to carry out research using the collections of the Michigan Tech Archives. Financial support for the travel award program is provided by the Friends of the Van Pelt Library, a support organization for the Library and Archives of Michigan Technological University. Topical research areas include: Michigan's western Upper Peninsula; industrial history, particularly copper mining and its ancillary industries; social history, including workforce issues, immigration and ethnicity; urban and community development along the Keweenaw Peninsula; transportation; and the environment.


Awards are given through an annual competitive process.  Review of applications usually takes place in late January with travel to be completed by December of the same calendar year. For further information please contact:
