Nancy Sanderson has been a life member of the Keweenaw County Historical Society since the early 1980s and has been active in the preservation of the area.  In 2002 she was awarded the Laure W Leskinen Memorial Award by the Society for her role in developing a Commercial Fishing Museum located at the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse Museum complex.   

The scenes captured in COPPER COUNTRY POSTCARDS: a View of the Past from the Keweenaw Peninsula give a glimpse of what the Copper Country was like in the first half of the twentieth century.  The book contains just under three hundred postcards featuring a variety of topics: mining, mills, machines, shipping, the strike of 1913, towns and villages, and a smattering of other images in a miscellaneous section.  All of the cards are from Nancy’s personal collection, which is devoted to the postcards of the Keweenaw Peninsula.

Proceeds from the sale of this book will help the preservation projects of the Keweenaw County Historical Society.
