The Friends of the Van Pelt Library are selling note cards that feature scenes from the early days of copper mining in the Keweenaw.  These images, shown below, are part of the Van Pelt Library's extensive collection of photos, records, and other materials that tell the story of the first mining rush in the United States, copper mining in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula.  These images are part of the MTU Archives and Copper Country Historical Collection, housed at Michigan Tech's Van Pelt Library.  (All images are copyright MTU Archives and Copper Country Historical Collection and may not be reproduced without written permission of the copyright holder)

These cards were developed by the Friends of the Van Pelt Library at Michigan Technological University to raise funds to support the Library and are available in sets of 12 (envelopes included) for $12 each (plus tax and shipping and handling).

To order your cards, send email to the Friends; please include in your email your name and address, how many card sets you would like, and your telephone number so that we can call you to obtain your credit-card information.  Alternatively, please fill out an order form and send it to the Friends:
