F.F.S.C.G.L.M.R. DIGITIZATION PROJECT 2010-2011 | |
| Overview: A large collection of oral histories from the Copper Country (in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) and northeastern Minnesota were recorded in the 1970's by staff and students of Suomi College, now Finlandia University. Rev. Dr. Arthur Puotinen led the project and received a grant from the Untied States National Endowment for the Humanities. While there many interviews with Finnish Americans from the Great Lakes Region, the scope of the project also included people from other communities and ethnic groups, and includes clergy, lawmen, doctors, and business leaders such as William Parsons Todd of the Quincy Mining Company. There are approximately 250 hours of transcribed interviews and about 150 hours of non-transcribed interviews. The tapes and transcripts are located at Finlandia University's Finnish-American Historical Archive and Museum in Hancock, Michigan.
In 2010, the Finnish American Historical Archive and Museum received a generous grant from the Keweenaw National Historic Park Advisory Commission to digitize the Finnish Folklore and Social Change in the Great Lakes Mining Region Oral History collection:
Complete interviews are available to visiting researchers at the Finnish American Historical Archive.
