The Lakeshore Museum Center is proud to announce the return of the Hackley & Hume family and business records to Muskegon after more than 50 years at Michigan State University Libraries. Originally donated to MSU Libraries in 1974 by Jean Hume Browning, granddaughter of Thomas Hume, the collection includes 57 boxes, 172 volumes, and 12 film cans of photographs, maps, financial records, and business papers spanning nearly 100 years of Muskegon history.

These materials will provide new insight into the development of Muskegon, its people, industries, and natural resources while supporting future research, exhibits, and restoration work at the Hackley and Hume Historic Site.
