- Description:
- In spring 2008, a committee of Lansing Rotary Club members and community leaders convened to plan Lansing's sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary celebrations. One of the many projects was an oral history initiative spearheaded by retired MSU Arts and Letters professor and author Marilyn Culpepper. Students in MSU's American Studies 881 course assisted in the creation, transcription, and editing of the recordings. The purpose of the project was to provide historical context for the year-long celebrations. About 20 interviews were done, and have been digitized by the Forest Parke Library & Archvies at CADL in 2015 and 2016. Any interview for which there is a signed release on file is available for access online; those without releases may be accessed in the Local History Room at CADL. All interviews have been transcribed and are available in the Lansing 150 booklet that is linked in each record.
