Collection, 1907-1961, of photographs and documents collected by the Kendall family of Houghton County, Michigan. Many of the photographs depict the Kendall family and associates in Houghton County. However, the collection also includes prints from elsewhere in the Copper Country and the U.S. more generally, as well as from relatives and friends in several other countries. Hence, it documents the Cornish diaspora. Contents include photographic prints, negatives, and three miscellaneous documents belonging to the Kendall family.

Series I, Prints, includes an assortment of photographic prints. There are studio prints of the Kendall family, relatives, and acquaintances from Calumet, Hancock, Houghton, and Greenland, Michigan; Bodmin, Penzance, Roche, and St. Austell, Cornwall, England; Stirling, Scotland; Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie, Australia; and Canada. There are also amateur prints depicting family members, family get-togethers, residences, and landscapes in the Copper Country and elsewhere, as well as four photograph albums compiled by the Kendall family.

Series II, Negatives, includes seven 3x5 negatives, several of which depict the Kendall family.

Series III, Documents, includes three documents: correspondence from a New Jersey utility company in 1940, a Hancock Central High School senior play program from 1927, and handwritten notes about a hockey game presumably played near Houghton.
