- Description:
- This small collection contains personal memorabilia and correspondence collected by Anna Cherwinski Elg, mostly to do with her employment at the Reo Motors Inc. company in Lansing. She was involved in the union, Local 650, that represented Reo workers, and also a part of the Reo Girls Club (for female employees). A few photographs are also included. Anna was born in Otsego, Michigan, on June 17th, 1900. Her parents Michael and Mary, who immigrated from parts of Germany and Poland, had her and 12 other children. Anna married Berger Elg at an unknown date, and he passed away in 1948. She had no children and was not remarried. Anna died in Lansing on December 4, 1990. She and Berger are buried in Evergreen Cemetery. After Berger died Anna had a need to support herself, and began working for Reo. It is not known exactly which position(s) she held with the company, but her photographs of production areas filled with women employees show stacks of small mechanical parts and what appears to be polishing and possibly sewing operations. This group of five snapshots, from 1953, have been digitized. No connection has been found between Anna Cherwinski Elg and that of Lansing author Joseph Cherwinski. This collection appears to have been an estate sale purchase by David Caterino, who then left the collection to the Capital Area District Libraries.

- Description:
- Records of the Lansing Camera Club. From a 50th anniversary club history in the collection: "The Lansing Camera Club was organized in 1926 and has had a distinguished history for 50 years. At the start, print makers were admitted to membership on presentation of an acceptable print. A Women's Camera Club, organized in 1932, disbanded when most of its members joined the Men's Camera Club in 1939. Meetings were held at first in the Downey Hotel. By 1942 they were meeting over Linn's Camera Shop. They were meeting at the Hayford Fire Station in 1952 when colored slides were first introduced into the competitions. When Scott Center was opened for meetings, this Club was one of its first tenants, and it has been our home since. Competition was always keen and since earliest days, members have entered salons all over the country and received many honors. Lansing Camera Club became a charter member of both the Photographic Society of America and of the Southwestern Michigan Council of Camera Clubs. The Club is one of only several clubs still holding the distinction of being a charter member of the Photographic Society of America...."
