- Description:
- This collection consists primarily of a scrapbook that was assembled by Sarah Morlok Cotton, one of the famous Morlok Quadruplets born in Lansing in 1930. There is also a folder of loose clippings, and four photographs of the girls when they were young. The scrapbook includes mainly local and national newspaper clippings about the quads' birth, their parents, special occasions such as their birthdays, and performances that they gave. Obituaries for the parents and two of the quads (who passed away during the time the scrapbook was being created), personal correspondence, and some information about the girls' health statistics are also part of the book.

- Description:
- This is a group of digital of photographs scanned from an album owned by the Lansing Fire Department in its historical collection. These photographs primarily document the construction and opening of Station No. 1 (now Station 42, the "Big House") at 120 East Shiawassee Street in downtown Lansing, from 1948 to 1949. The station was dedicated in 1949. The photo album also contains some older historical photographs, many undated, which have been included here. The people in the photographs have not been identified. The original photographs are 8" x 10" black and white prints, several with moisture, mold, or glue damage. A few have been hand tinted. They were all scanned in color. The Forest Parke Library and Archives at CADL is grateful to the Lansing Fire Department for allowing us to share these photographs. If you are interested in accessing the originals, please contact the Fire Department directly.
