The following record series contain documents generated by schools and townships in the vicinity of the Quincy Mining Company. It was not unusual for Michigan copper mining companies to maintain close ties with municipal boards and agencies, and many mining companies supplied property, supplies and financial support (beyond normal taxation) in support of schools, libraries, baths and other public amenities. Most companies had direct representation in such agencies and it is not unusual to find otherwise public records included in the corporate records of mining companies. The following records from Quincy, Franklin and Schoolcraft Townships were received with other Quincy records. Michigan statutes require, however, that township and school records be transferred to the State Archives of Michigan for processing with similar records collected from county courthouses around the state. It is likely that these records will be placed on permanent deposit with the Michigan Technological University Archives, its regional depository for the Western Upper Peninsula. The list below is provided as an interim reference point to their existence.

Please contact a staff member of the Michigan Tech Archives for current information concerning the location and status of these documents.
