Winner of the 2023 State History Award - Website Category

The Keweenaw Time Traveler was honored as a State History Award winner in the website category for the year 2023. These awards are presented annually by the Historical Society of Michigan (HSM) to organizations and people that have made 'outstanding contributions to the appreciation, collection, preservation and/or promotion of state and local history' (HSM Announcement). The award will be formally presented at the Michigan History Conference which will take place in the Roscommon-Grayling area on September 22-24, 2023. 

The Keweenaw Time Traveler would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has made this project possible. Our, current project team members and our time traveler alumni have contributed thousands of hours in the collection, digitization, and linking of historical records that make up our massive database as well as the digitization and referencing of the hundreds of historic maps present on the Keweenaw Time Traveler.  This work would not be possible without the generous support of our project funders including the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Council of Library and Information Resources, as well as support from the Geospatial Research Facility and the Great Lakes Research Center at Michigan Technological University. 

Of course, none of this would be possible without our heritage partners and the thousands of individuals who use the Keweenaw Time Traveler to explore and share memories of our Copper Country past. Thank you so much for your support!
