| title | Calumet and Hecla Mining Companies Collection, 1855-1973 (MS-002) | repository | Michigan Technological University |
| description | Collection, 1855-1973, of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Companies of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. Includes corporate records, administrative correspondence, financial and legal documentation, employment and medical records, property and miners2 housing records, as well as operational records from the company2s underground, surface, stamp mill, reclamation, railroad, and smelting operations. Also includes records of numerous subsidiary and related companies operating in the Michigan copper district and other regions throughout North America. Although the Calumet and Hecla Mining Companies Collection often lacks the depth of specific detail evident in other mining company collections at the Michigan Technological University Archives, it provides comprehensive coverage of Calumet and Hecla's diverse corporate activity during its century of operations. It contains great detail on the buildings, equipment, technologies, ancillary industries, and communities created to mine and treat the copper ore, and provides surprisingly comprehensive coverage of the workforce employed the company. Bio/History: The Calumet and Hecla Consolidated Copper Company was the most successful corporation to have mined native copper in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Through nearly a century of mining activity, the company produced in excess of 4.5 billion pounds of refined copper and issued over $200 million in shareholder dividends. Unlike many of its competitors along the Keweenaw Peninsula, Calumet and Hecla successfully expanded its operations over several separate mineral bodies, developed capital-intensive ancillary industrial facilities, explored diversified non-mining enterprises, and remained a significant mining corporation at the national and international level well past the district's most productive era.
