Making of Modern Michigan
The Making of Modern Michigan was a collaborative project involving 52 Michigan libraries. It includes local history materials from communities around the state. Michigan's unique heritage is represented through over 4,500 different subjects of photographs, family papers, oral histories, genealogical materials, and much more.
The Making of Modern Michigan was headed by the Michigan State University Libraries, in partnership with the Library of Michigan, the Michigan Library Consortium, and the 52 libraries that participated in the project.
The Making of Modern Michigan aimed at empowering libraries, throughout the state, to contribute to a digital collection about the state's history.
