OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION Minnesota Historical Society United States. Coast Guard. Registers of lighthouse keepers : Great Lakes. 1845-1900. Indexes and registers for the Great Lakes region listing U.S. Coast Guard lighthouse keepers. 1 microfilm reel. M605 SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE RECORDS

The collection consists of alphabetical indexes and chronologically compiled U.S. Coast Guard registers for the Great Lakes region listing lighthouse keeper and/or assistant names and their dates of appointment, places of birth, location of previous appointment, and in some cases, whether the individual has a record of army or navy service.

Indexes to each of the volumes are alphabetical by surname of keeper and/or name of lighthouse and were filmed in their entirety each time a volume or part of a volume was filmed. The indexes will, therefore, include many names of keepers and lighthouses that are not found on this roll of film.

Reference maps from 1889 showing the Great Lakes region lighthouses have been filmed at the beginning of the roll.
