- This collection consists of one large-format newspaper-clipping scrapbook that was compiled by a descendant of R. E. Olds.

- Lansing Area Stereo Views
- Description:
- This is a small collection of Lansing area stereoscopic photographs (stereo views). The collection includes several views of the State Capitol in Lansing (constructed in 1879), street scenes, and the Michigan Agricultural College campus. Most of the images are dated, but based on content and/or those with an identified photographer, all can be placed at sometime in the 19th century. Stereoscopic technology was invented in 1849 by Sir David Brewster, and remained in popular use from the 1850s into the 1920s.
