Marquette Regional History Center Announces their Award Recipients and Annual Meeting

Wednesday, February 22, 6:30 p.m.

The Marquette Regional History Center is pleased to announce the annual history award recipients for 2022. Northern Michigan University's Central Upper Peninsula and NMU Archives will receive the Peter White Award, and John Parlin, MD will receive the Helen Longyear Paul Award.

We will celebrate their achievements with an award ceremony during our Annual Meeting. Marquette County has a rich history and cultural heritage that inspires many to interpret, preserve and share it. As a history institution it is our responsibility to recognize those efforts and promote the achievements of people and organizations making history today. The Marquette Regional History Center began an awards program in 1984. The Helen Longyear Paul Award recognizes individuals, and the Peter White Award honors foundations, companies, organizations, and institutions. Both recognize exceptional effort in the enhancement, restoration, conservation, or interpretation of the history of our area.

We will also celebrate our team of volunteers and their contributions to keeping history alive in the museum and library at our Annual Meeting as well. Free and open to all. Museum Members are encouraged to attend.
