[Michlib-l] ALERT: Houghton County Emergency Flood Relief

[Historical Society of Michigan]

The Houghton County Historical Society has suffered massive damages due to
the recent flooding crisis in the Western Upper Peninsula

 

 <https://www.gofundme.com/gjj99r-houghton-museum-flood-relief> Donate to
recover Houghton's history

 

Earlier this week, heavy rains and storms produced severe weather conditions
across the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin, devastating the area's
landscape and infrastructure. The Houghton area was severely hit. Major road
cave-ins, sinkholes, and hazardous building damage and collapsing areas have
led Governor Snyder to declare a state of emergency for the area.

 



The damage to the HCHS research facility grounds from Quarry Road.

 

The Historical Society of Michigan is raising funds for the Houghton County
Historical Society (HCHS) in Lake Linden and other local history
organizations in the area that may have been affected to provide relief for
the devastated portions of their historical collections and property. The
HCHS is a volunteer-run organization and is in desperate need of help and
donations to save their collections and research facilities.

 



The damage to the HCHS's newspaper collections room.

 

Please consider helping today. Any donation HSM receives will go toward the
repair of damaged property and the preservation of salvageable artifacts and
collections.
