With continued inclement weather, I thought about Michigan winter activities documented in the manuscript collections in the archives.
We have one collection which includes images of a snow plow in action: Ann Arbor Railroad Company Photograph collection, 2006.
Then, I also thought about school closings due to weather. We do not have any manuscripts just on that topic, although I"m sure a number of the District School volumes document bad weather days.
We have a number of manuscript collections that document winter sports:
