- Description:
- A small collection of correspondence and photographs related to the Whiteley and Zimmerman families. These materials were possibly collected by Nellie M. Whiteley Zimmerman, whose name appears frequently in them. The collection also includes a disbound, oversize volume of what appear to be personal receipts for all kinds of household goods such as paint or contractor services; personal items like clothing and perfume; antiques and other home decorations; insurance; utility bills; membership renewals for fraternal organizations, clubs, etc.; and lots and lots of pigeon seed. Nearly all receipts have Nellie Zimmerman's name on them. The materials from this volume date from 1929 to 1953, and represent many local businesses and organizations in the Lansing area, including their often illustrated letterheads. The Whiteley family home was located at 414 South Washington Street in Lansing around the turn of the century. Photographs of the home are included in this collection, as are several portraits both identified and unidentified. Some may not have been taken in the Lansing area. The correspondence in the collection is mainly of a personal nature, to Nellie (Whiteley) Zimmerman or her mother Elizabeth. Most dates from before 1900.

- Description:
- This collection contains photographs removed from three photo albums as well as several loose items. The majority of these photographs have not been dated or identified. The albums were disassembled due to poor condition. The donor was Marilyn Culpepper but it is not clear whether these materials were her own, or those of her mother, Florence Tressler. The first album contained cabinet cards, cartes de visite, and tintypes. Some were marked with Lansing photography studio names, others elsewhere in Michigan, and the remainder out of state or not marked. Most are not identified. The second album included several photo postcards that were addressed to Florence Tressler, mostly in Montpelier, Ohio. Other photographs show portraits, farm scenes, especially pickling cucumbers, some images and postcards from Brazil, Kalamazoo, and Ohio. The third album contained many unidentified portraits of young women, possibly Florence Tressler and her classmates at a women's college. There were more photos of cucumber and other farming scenes, and photos of school children who may have been Florence Tressler's students when she became a teacher. It is possible based on notes from the donor tucked in the album that she graduated in about 1909 from the Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio, which is now part of the Miami University. Loose items include portraits identified "Pictures of my father and my uncle, Holt, Michigan, about 1898" on a note by the donor. There are early 20th century photographs of hunting and falcons, the Lansing High School football team, and houses under construction or just completed on Christiancy and East Main Streets and at 301 and 509 Moores River Drive. Florence Tressler was married to Samuel Glenn Mayer, and their daughter Marilyn Marie Mayer eventually became Marilyn Culpepper. Some photographs in this collection have the name "Mayer" written on the back. This collection has not been digitized. Contact the Local History department for more information.

- Description:
- This collection contains photographs which were possibly collected or donated by the Johns family of Lansing.
