In May of 1997, this project was organized by Jeff Murphy, using the established KY Biographies Project as a model. State coordinators were sought to set up their own state project. They were offered the system design and tools created for the KY project, but
were free to set up their project in any way they chose.
I am Jan Cortez and I am the state coordinator for Michigan. Volunteers are needed to enter, edit, and archive the biographies for each project. If you have biographies you would like to donate for any Michigan County or if you would like to volunteer to coordinate a county, please contact me.
