Biographical Sketch:

Dr. Russell M. Magnaghi has been a member of the Northern Michigan University History Department since 1969.  Raised in an Italian-American community in San Francisco, Magnaghi received his PhD in 1970 from St. Louis University with an emphasis in Latin-American history.  He developed his interest in local history while at Northern and has been an active participant in local history interests and projects in the area.

Scope and Content Note:

This collection contains original records and manuscripts, photocopies of historical documents, project materials, news clippings, student term papers, correspondence, research notes, presentations, and publications of Dr. Russell M. Magnaghi, an NMU history professor with broad interest and involvement in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, ethnic groups in the U.P. (particularly Italian-Americans), and Northern Michigan University.

The collection is divided into several subseries including:  a General File, Course Materials, Writings and Presentations, Northern Michigan University, Italian Organizations in the U.P., Upper Peninsula and Michigan File, and History Student Papers.

The General File (1951-1992) includes biographical materials and information about several of Magnaghi's speaking engagements.  Various history-related project materials are also included for projects which Magnaghi was involved in locally including the Heritage Hotel Project in Marquette, the Historic Preservation Committee, and the U.P. Italian-American Oral History Project which was directed by Magnaghi. Course Materials File (1973-1991) is a small file with fragmentary pieces pertaining to courses taught by Magnaghi as a history professor at Northern Michigan University.

Writings and Presentations (1978-1992) reflect Magnaghi's broad interests in Italian-Americans and other ethnic groups, as well as the history of Michigan's Upper Peninsula dn Include copies of speeches as well as published articles and monographs.

Northern Michigan University File (1959-1992) illustrates Magnaghi's role as participant.  The file includes a good deal of History Department materials such as faculty meeting minutes, correspondence, a departmental history, and academic program activities in which Magnaghi was heavily involved including The Coalition to Save Longyear Hall, NMU Archives, NMU Museum Project, and various history student organizations are also included. Italian Organizations in the Upper Peninsula File (1901-1983) consists of both original and photocopied records of a large variety of Italian organizations in the Upper Peninsula.  These records were originally entrusted to Msgr. David P. Spelgatti who served as secretary of the Federation of Italian American Societies of the Upper Peninsula and had a leadership role in founding the Paisano Club of the Upper Peninsula in 1965.  The records predominately consist of organization by-laws and rule books although there is some correspondence, meeting minutes, membership lists, programs, and miscellaneous materials for the Paisano Club and the Italian American Societies of the Upper Peninsula.

Upper Peninsula and Michigan File (1840-1992) depicts Magnaghi's various roles as historical collector and compiler, researcher, and participant consisting primarily of photocopies of original documents, news clippings, and research notes relating to a wide variety of Upper Peninsula subjects and, to a lesser extent, Michigan in general.  Included are gathered materials on Cornish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Finnish-Americans, Danish-Americans, and Native-Americans in the area.  There is a good deal of materials relating to the Escanaba River Hydroelectric System, Marquette Ore Dock, Michigan's Sesquicentennial Celebration, and the U.P. during World War II all of which Magnaghi either conducted research on or participated in on a project level.

History Student Papers File (1947-1989) include papers relating to the Upper Peninsula only and primarily consist of term papers written by Magnaghi's students although an occasional paper was written for another NMU history professor.
