Welcome
to our
site! Our
mission is to promote historical education about the people and places
of the city of Hazel Park, Michigan. Within these pages you will find
links
to scans and transcriptions from the files of the Hazel Park Historical
Commission, as well as pictures from the Hazel Park Palladium
and
News
newspapers (1939-1967). Also included are selected works from Laurie
Wilson,
a local photographer that documented goings-on in HP for many years. We
are in the process of digitizing our collection, and working to
preserve
the archives that we have.
If you like what you see, please consider a donation to
the
Commission!
Any donations will be used toward further preservation, and a special
thanks
in this spot. (Also a nice thank you note...) :-)

Below you will find links to the files we have scanned
and
transcribed
so far. We hope you will find them interesting. We are in
need of
any sources of history that portray the city of Hazel Park. If you have
any items that you would like to share, please contact the City
Manager's
office.

Recently the commission has digitized copies of the 1921,
1922,
1924,
and 1925
Hazel Park School District # 9 Censuses. These are a resource for
anyone that is interested in researching genealogy, or just as the
historical items that they are. These are rather large files, so please
be patient. Attempts were made to index these using Adobe Acrobat, only
the 1925 census is fully searchable. These are PDF (Adobe)
files.
