A working record of lighthouse life along the northern coast

This archive gathers photographs, keeper accounts, and local records so the coasts lighthouse history can be read in context rather than as isolated landmarks. We document what was built, what changed, and what remains, with sources kept clear and language kept plain.

For place-based exploration, begin with Explore the map, then continue into archive photographs and keeper stories.

Research Method

How the archive is organized

Every entry is grouped by source type so readers can follow photographs, keeper accounts, and mapped preservation records with clear provenance.

Archive Photos

Photographs are indexed by station, date span, and source collection for consistent visual reference.

Keeper Histories

Narratives are condensed from logs and oral records, then tagged by lighthouse and keeper tenure.

Preserved Tower Mapping

Map records pair verified coordinates with preservation notes so surviving towers are easy to trace.
