Archives Travel Grant Program Accepting Applications
by Michigan Tech Archives
The Michigan Tech Archives is currently accepting applications for its annual Travel Grant Program.
The travel grant, which is returning after a brief hiatus, brings scholars and researchers to Michigan Tech to work with the archives’ collections. Financial support for the program is provided by the Friends of the Michigan Tech Library. Grants are awarded for up to $1,000 to defray the costs of travel to visit and conduct research in Houghton. In addition, graduate students applying to the program may request up to an additional $200 (furnished by the Archives) to help defray any duplication costs incurred during a qualified research trip.
The Michigan Tech Archives houses a wide variety of historical print, graphic and manuscript resources related to the Copper Country and Michigan Tech. Subject coverage is vast and includes University and campus life, regional towns and cities, local industries and businesses, social organizations, events and personalities of the Copper Country and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Primary topical research areas include the western Upper Peninsula, industrial history (particularly copper mining and its ancillary industries), social history, community development along the Keweenaw Peninsula, transportation and the environment.
Finding aids for some of the collections can be found on the Michigan Tech Archives website.
To apply for funding, please visit the Travel Grant Program website.
Applications are due March 25. Award recipients will be notified by late April. The successful candidate must complete their travel by Dec. 9, 2022. Electronic submission of applications is required.
For further information, please contact University Archivist Lindsay Hiltunen at 906-487-3209 or cop...@mtu.edu.
