The time I hired a researcher in Houghton, she said "she retrieved some stuff at the Michigan Tech Archives." I found a listing online for the Finnish American Heritage Center & Historical Archive in Hancock. I haven't checked into what they have yet. Can our listers add to these 2 places? Which libraries have collections of early 1900's history? Are there any R.A.O.G.K volunteers in the area? At this point, I'm looking at South Range & Atlantic Mine locations.
