Upper Peninsula Cemetery records

 Collection
Identifier: MSS-382

Content Description

This collection consists of 5 CDs (which are also online at http://www.nmu.edu/archives/cemetery-records) which contain records of individual burial plots in cemeteries in Luce, Schoolcraft, Mackinac, Marquette, and Alger Counties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They include indexes, transcriptions of tombstones, maps of the cemeteries, and occasionally photos.

Each completed disc has an introductory page and an Excel and Word index of all of the cemeteries. The discs marked incomplete do not contain all cemeteries for that county, but each contains a detailed spreadsheet explaining which cemeteries were fully transcribed as well as a master index.

ABOUT THIS COLLECTION GUIDE

This collection guide includes collections from member organizations of UPLINK (the Upper Peninsula Digital Network) as well as the Central Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan University Archives. UPLINK collections document the history of the Upper Peninsula broadly, while the Central UP & NMU Archives focuses on such topics as Northern Michigan University history, the local iron mining industry, and the politics, economics, religion, environment, and culture of the Central Upper Peninsula region.


These finding aids will give you an overview of the contents and context of each collection. Finding aids only exist for collections that each organization has shared with UPLINK or (in the case of the NMU Archives) for processed collections. For a more comprehensive list of collections that might help with your research, please contact the relevant heritage organization(s) directly.
