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

Bowerman to address river cleanup and related issues. Clippings also reflect similar activities in other cities in Michigan, the U.S., and internationally. The majority date from 1963 to 1965.
