- Description:
- "The Voices of Lansing: An Oral History" was a project sponsored by the Lansing Public Library, the History Committee of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the R. E. Olds Transportation Museum with assistance from the Oldsmobile History Center. Interviews took place between 1988 and 1991. It was supported by a City of Lansing Outstate Equity Grant. The goal was to create a body of oral history recordings documenting the Capital region with the following focuses: -The Library would focus on surviving mayors and government personalities. -The Museum would focus on contributors to the area automotive industry. -The Chamber would focus on leaders of business and industry, and workers long left out of printed resources. Although the project never was completed, due mostly to hangups in the transcription process, many interviews were done and have been digitized by the Forest Parke Library & Archvies at CADL in 2015. Any interview for which there is a signed release on file is available for listening online; those without releases may be accessed in the Local History Room at CADL. If a transcript or summary of a recording is available, it is also linked to its record online in PDF format.

- Description:
- This is a small collection of personal memorabilia, records and correspondence, and an oral history recording with Ernest A. "Ernie" Nostrant, who worked for Diamond Reo for many years. He was an employee during volatile times of buyouts and pension problems, and his records and interview reflect some of this upheaval. Some of the contents are restricted due to personally identifying information. The collection includes some small ephemera: three of Nostrant's ID badges (two with Diamond Reo logos; the third with "Superintendent" below his name); an employee ID card from the Diamond Reo Truck Division, White Motor Corporation (undated); a fabric Diamond Reo patch; and one of Nostrant's business cards from Diamond Reo Trucks. Some White material is in this collection: an 1968 annual report, and a 1970 stockholder proxy report. There is also a file of Nostrant's insurance policy information, pay stubs, and credit union statements. Following the failure of Diamond Reo under ownership of Francis A. Cappaert in the 1970s, there were problems with the pensions of retired employees including Nostrant. Congressman Bob Carr took up this issue as part of an amendment to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). A file of correspondence between Carr, Nostrant, and others about a class action lawsuit and legislation is part of this collection. In addition, an oral history interview was recorded by MSU student Zachariah Torrey with Ernie Nostrant at Nostrant's home in Grand Ledge, Michigan, on March 14, 2018. They discussed Nostrant's work history and the contents of this collection. The interview audio file is linked in this record. This collection may have been a garage sale purchase by David Caterino, who then left the collection to the Capital Area District Libraries. Student Zachariah Torrey assisted CADL Local History in processing this collection. Mr. Nostrant had no idea how the materials had come to be in Caterino's possession, but has allowed the library to maintain ownership in addition to adding a few small items and his oral history interview.
