- Description:
- This series contains digitized versions of a one-hour audio cassette recording the Lansing Poetry Club produced at Lansing Community College in 1982. The purpose of the recording, in part, was to memorialize deceased members. Both sides of the original cassette contained intro and closing music, and Side One includes a brief history of the club during the intro music. The music selections are not identified. Recordings are identified by the title of each piece and the author's name. In the introductory segment, narrator Jim Platte is identified as the producer. He states that 32 poets from the club either read poems or submitted their own to be read by him. Anne Hall Fishell and Elma Hodges served as compilers and editors of the poems included. Bob Clemens was the audio engineer. This series includes 90 audio segments; four are beginning/ending music and 86 are poetry readings. See Link(s) for Side One and Side Two compilation playlists. The collection includes three copies of the audio cassette recordings. Each side of the original cassette audio was copied to an audio CD in .cda format. The files are date stamped 1994. These .cda files from the CDs were converted to .wav and .mp3 by CADL in 2017.

- Description:
- This collection contains legal documentation, meeting minutes, club reports, scrapbooks, photographs, newspaper clippings, year books and correspondence on the Ingham County Federation of Women's Clubs. It also contains the records of the Woman's Historical Club, located in Lansing. A previous version of a finding aid created by the Forest Parke Library & Archives in 2013, with item-level detail of the collection's contents, is attached to this record. The Ingham County Federation of Women’s Clubs was formed in 1917 and the first annual meeting was held in 1918. Local clubs were formed all over the county in municipalities such as: Lansing, East Lansing, Holt, Okemos, Haslett, Mason, Stockbridge, Leslie, Webberville and others. The club was very involved in philanthropic work including: music programs in rural schools, nutritional health during the war years, mental health programs, keeping pornography off of newsstands, combating juvenile delinquency and promotion of safety and law enforcement. The Federation was involved in many civic activities, including the petitioning of local and county government on issues. The Federation was responsible for the establishment of the Ingham County Library. Members petitioned the Ingham County Board of Supervisors asking for a county library. The first Ingham County library opened in Mason in 1938. The Federation established a home for aged women, the Women’s Home. The first location was on Ionia Street in Lansing and opened in 1923. The second home for aged women was “Willow Manor” on Willow Street in Lansing. It opened in 1924 and closed in 1996. A large bequest from the estate of Marion Sattler made "Marsh Pointe," the successor to "Willow Manor," possible. This residential complex for senior citizens opened in Haslett in 1996. The Woman's Historical Club was organized by a group of prominent Lansing women in 1895. R.E. Olds paid for their clubhouse and his wife Metta Olds was a member. The Women’s Club House Association sponsored national and local charities for many years. The Woman’s Club House was sold in 1987. Some Lansing clubs trace their roots back to the Women’s Club House Association.

- Description:
- This collection contains a wide range of newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and other periodically-published literature from the greater Lansing area. The materials are are a mix of general news (some specific to certain areas of Lansing or other nearby communities); industry and in-house publications; club or organization newsletters and papers; marketing and advertising magazines and newsletters; or political papers. Most are loose individual issues but some of the titles have been bound and/or are on microfilm. Some are very fragile and cannot be photocopied or scanned, but camera photography may be possible. For several titles, we only have a single issue, but for titles with a range of issues/years, there are often missing issues. See the container lists for each title for complete holdings. The collection does not include large runs of the major Lansing newspapers, such as the State Journal, which are available on microfilm or online through library or other databases. Container lists are updated as we add new titles and issues to the collection.
