Marquette – “People, Place and Time: Michigan’s Copper Country through the Lens of J.W. Nara,” a traveling exhibit created by the Michigan Tech Archives, will be on display through Friday, July 27 at the Peter White Public Library.
The public is invited to an illustrated lecture by Michigan Tech archivist, Erik Nordberg, about J.W. Nara’s work on Thursday, July 26 at 3 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
The presentation features additional historic photographs and explores the themes
depicted in Nara’s work. Born in Finland, J.W. Nara immigrated to the United States and established a photographic studio in Calumet in the heart of America’s most productive copper mining region in the early 1890s.
