Seeking Michigan: Michigan's "Birth Certificate" Comes Home
The Archives of Michigan collects and preserves significant records generated by the state and local governments of Michigan. On rare occasions, however, this depository of Michigan’s documentary heritage is called upon to care for selected federal papers. There are four good examples of this unusual situation, and they all occurred years ago and at the same time.

Michigan's 175th Birthday Bash!
The Great Lakes State turns 175 next Thursday. To celebrate, we're throwing Michigan's 175th Birthday Bash and giving out a week's worth of prizes! All you need to do to have a shot is to have your address on our email list! Click through for details and to see our great prizes!

The Legend of Heikki Lunta
This weekend (January 20-21), the annual Heikki Lunta Winterfest (Hey-Key Loon-ta) takes place on and around Negaunee's Teal Lake. The festival celebrates the legendary (and pretty much made up) Finnish show god who is said to have the ability to perform a dance causing snowfall. Read on for the story behind the story!
