Suomi College
The Finnish Collection consists of 100 reels of microfilm concerning Finnish-American Churches, Labor Societies, Temperance Organizations, and other materials from the United States and Canada. The contents were filmed at the Suomi College (now Finlandia University) Historical Archive and are the result of a joint project between the Bentley Library, Suomi College (now Finlandia University), and the University of Turku, Finland, coordinated in 1974-75. Much of the fieldwork and cataloging of the Finnish Collection at the Bentley Historical Library, including the obtaining of materials, was performed by Keijo Virtanen, doctoral candidate at the University of Turku who held a Research Assistantship at the Michigan Historical Collections in 1974-1975.
