- Title page: "Lansing Area Park Development: A project of the Lansing Area Community Resources Workshop in cooperation with Michigan State University, by Jean H. Nilsen and Susan Zerbst. Director: Mrs. Frances B. Schneider; Assistant Director: Ralph Chapman. July, 1969." The report is bound with two pieces of stained wood and a leather cord, and the cover design and title were done with a woodburning tool. This report includes a list of parks; a historical sketch of the early park system by Birt Darling; information about the city's Parks and Recreation Department, Urban Renewal projects; and other information about the park system. Some charts and indexes cut from other publications are included (with no sources given), and color snapshots for many of the parks are also in the report. These photos have been scanned individually in addition to the full report document. Contact the library for more information.

- Description:
- This is a collection of approximately 500,000 pages of microform material from one or more departments of the City of Lansing, which date from 1964 to about 1985. Much of the material is undated, and the bulk of what has dates was produced in the late 1970s. Based on subject titles typed onto each microfiche sleeve, a large portion of the material is related to Lansing's participation in the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant program. This program, initiated in 1974 during the administration of President Gerald Ford, attempts to eliminate poverty and urban blight with control largely placed in the hands of state and local authorities. Typical materials in this collection include minutes and agendas for various committees such as Zoning or Parks and Recreation, correspondence, chronological files, interoffice files, and subject files. See the linked spreadsheet (.xlsx format) for a listing of all subjects represented in this collection. To request any of the material, note the item number, name, and box it appears in. Digital copies of microfiche pages are available on request. Acronyms appear frequently throughout the material titles. They are as follows: CACHPA - Capital Area Comprehensive Health Planning Association CD - Citizens District or Community Development CDBG - Community Development Block Grant Program CDC - Citizens District Council/Committee or Community Development Council/Committee CIP - Capital Improvements Program CRP - Community Renewal Program EHAB - Environmental Health Advisory Board (?)
