There are several organizations in the Keweenaw that have collections of historic Copper Country photos, including the Keweenaw National Historical Park, Michigan Technological University Archives - Copper Country Historical Collection, The Keweenaw Country Historical Society, Houghton County Historical Society, etc. It is not unusual to see the same historic image in several different collections. Except where noted the following images are from the KCHS archives. Some are noted as belonging to the MTU- Copper Country Historical Collection. None of these images may be used for any purpose without explicit permission from the organization that manages that image.
The following is just a sample of some of the images of Central and the Central Reunion that are available in various collections. Please click on any of the images to see a slide show and larger images. You can move from image to image by clicking the right edge, using arrow keys, etc. A caption will appear once the larger image appears.
