- Description:
- This is a collection of photographs and digitized doodles, fine art, and commercial art created by Dennis Preston. Also included are audio recordings of his own songs and music projects that he participated in. Some video is also part of the collection. The collection is representative of his work but not comprehensive; more will be added over time. Dennis grew up in Lansing, Michigan. He began freelance illustrating while still in high school (Eastern). His first commissioned work was from local TV celebrity Len Stuttman. Len had him draw animal cartoon characters for a Woldumar Nature Center poster. In the late 1960s and early '70s, Dennis was known for the concert posters he designed. Also at that time, he painted murals, designed posters and created newspaper advertising for the stores Sounds & Diversions and Free Spirit in Lansing. He also made drawings for Joe and Robbie Levine's education company that produced teaching aids internationally.

- Description:
- This series contains digitized versions of a one-hour audio cassette recording the Lansing Poetry Club produced at Lansing Community College in 1982. The purpose of the recording, in part, was to memorialize deceased members. Both sides of the original cassette contained intro and closing music, and Side One includes a brief history of the club during the intro music. The music selections are not identified. Recordings are identified by the title of each piece and the author's name. In the introductory segment, narrator Jim Platte is identified as the producer. He states that 32 poets from the club either read poems or submitted their own to be read by him. Anne Hall Fishell and Elma Hodges served as compilers and editors of the poems included. Bob Clemens was the audio engineer. This series includes 90 audio segments; four are beginning/ending music and 86 are poetry readings. See Link(s) for Side One and Side Two compilation playlists. The collection includes three copies of the audio cassette recordings. Each side of the original cassette audio was copied to an audio CD in .cda format. The files are date stamped 1994. These .cda files from the CDs were converted to .wav and .mp3 by CADL in 2017.
