This collections consists of ledgers created by the Ontonagon Lighthouse keeper that record supplies at the lighthouse, the amount of oil used each day, how long the lighthouse was lit, and the daily weather conditions. A 1937 blueprint titled "Ontonagon, Michigan Maintenance Soundings in Channel and Lake Approach" was tucked into the front cover of this ledger and is also included in the scan.
