- Description:
- This is a collection of 26 volumes of tax records for various locations in Ingham County, dating from 1907 to 1939 with many gaps. Communities represented include the townships of Lansing, Leroy, Delhi, Vevay, Wheatfield, White Oak, Alaiedon, Bunker Hill, Ingham, Meridian, and Locke, as well as towns of Leslie, Mason, East Lansing, Dansville, Stockbridge, Williamston, and Onondaga. Rural/unincorporated areas (identified as plats or farms) around greater Lansing and the county are also included. In most cases information is listed by legal description of the land parcel, usually by plat or subdivision, so a search for a particular individual can be time consuming. The ledger volumes are large, very dusty, and often in poor condition. All of the records are handwritten. None of the volumes have been digitized or indexed. They can be accessed in the Local History Room.

- Description:
- This collection consists of nearly 400 boxes of real estate listing cards and other material for addresses throughout the greater Lansing area, including both commercial and residential properties. It was created in the course of business by the Advance Realty Co. of Lansing, founded by C. Rowland Stebbins. Records make up two series: standard (card) files, and large files. The 4" x 6" card format was a common way real estate listings were recorded and shared by agencies, especially in the 1950s and beyond with the advent of simple card and photo printing systems. Large files are similar but sometimes include rough sketches of a property or a neighborhood section, correspondence, and/or larger newspaper clippings, with most material on 8 1/2" x 11" office paper as opposed to the smaller cards. Materials are organized by street address. A typical address file will include at least one of the following: -Photograph of property -Negative (usually Kodak Brownie format) of property -Sales listing card or sheet, detailing the structure, lot, location, any notes on showing the property for agents, notes on sale price and date. The 4" x 6" sales listing cards usually have a half-tone photograph of the property on the reverse. -Newspaper clippings (classified advertisements or articles) -Sales agent solicitation records -Rental property information -Vacant property information Occasionally odd items such as a housekey have been found in the files. The material was created and maintained by the Advance Realty Co. of Lansing. Advance was founded by C. Rowland "Rollie" Stebbins, the grandson of Cortland B. Stebbins, who was an editor of the Lansing Republican newspaper as early as 1857. The Stebbins family was prominent in Lansing business and local government for several generations.

- Description:
- This collection consists of 49 boxes of real estate listing cards and other material for addresses throughout the greater Lansing area, including both commercial and residential properties. It was created in the course of business by the Belon Realty Co. of Lansing, founded by owner and broker George T. Belon in 1952. It was in existence at least until 1998, but the records in this collection end in about 1970. The 4" x 6" multi listing card format was a common way real estate listings were recorded and shared by agencies, especially in the 1950s and beyond with the advent of simple card and photo printing systems. Materials are organized by street address. For the most part this collection is limited to a property listing card with a photo of varying quality printed on the back, but occasionally there are negatives (usually duplicating the house photos printed on respective cards), some handwritten notes and correspondence, or other items. Many cards have inaccurate designations of "Street," "Road," "Avenue," "Court," etc., and some have incorrectly spelled street names. We have corrected these in the descriptions and file names where possible. Each street is generally treated as an item in this collection with its own database record. Note that streets are sometimes divided into multiple files for direction (N/S/E/W), or if a street runs through more than one community. These files are being added to Local History Online as materials are digitized. This collection is complementary to the <a href="http://cadl.pastperfectonline.com/archive/ED4AE10E-B0EA-4B4B-820E-622451796401">Stebbins Real Estate Collection</a> at CADL as well as a number of other resources useful for property research in the greater Lansing area.

- Ford Ceasar was a teacher and school administrator for nearly 35 years and was involved in the Historical Society of Greater Lansing, the Historical Society of Michigan, and other historical organizations. This collection is primarily concerned with Ceasar's publications, so several boxes are devoted to notes, research, the Ingham County Historical Commission, which hired Ceasar to write "The Bicentennial History of Ingham County." The other notable parts of this collection are the Michigan and Lansing photograph series (boxes 11 and 12) which contain rare and important photographs of the Lansing area, as well as surrounding communities. There is one box of loose oversize material as well.

- Description:
- Donated to the Mason branch of the Capital Area District Libraries in 2006 by Eugene G. Wanger in memory of his father-in-law, Leslie Dana Morris, and mother-in-law, Mabel Rebecca Morris, this collection comprises the majority of Mr. Wanger's personal library of books, manuscripts, and ephemera pertaining to the history of Ingham County, Michigan. Leslie Dana Morris, son of Stephen Arnold Morris and Lida Ellen Couples, was born March 1, 1894, in Logan County, Ohio. He later moved to Eden, Michigan, where he farmed until 1960 when he and his wife relocated to Mason, Michigan. L. D. Morris also spent time as an employee of both REO and the John Bean Company. He died on May 6, 1985. Mabel Rebecca Robinson Morris was born April 2, 1905, near Aberdeen, South Dakota, to Rodman and Mary Robinson, but grew up in Shannon County, Missouri. She graduated from the Birch Tree High School and was a teacher at a country school for two years. On February 24, 1928, she married L. D. Morris. She began university studies at Michigan State University as a freshman at age 48, and eventually received her degree. Mrs. Morris taught elementary education at the Rolfe, Robbins, and Steele Street Elementary Schools before retiring in 1968. She died on July 9, 1992. Eugene G. Wanger, a local attorney, co-chair of the Michigan Committee Against Capital Punishment, author of "Why We Should Reject Capital Punishment," and a Delegate to the State of Michigan Constitutional Convention in 1961, assembled this collection over a period of more than 60 years. His Ingham County Historical Collection contains his personal bibliography of books found in his 2003 publication "Discovering Ingham County." The majority of the collection was acquired by Mr. Wanger. However, the collection includes both published and unpublished material created by Mr. Wanger himself. There are books, maps, atlases, newspapers, reports, small press publications, and ephemera. His 2003 Ingham County bibliography is a sequel to his 1977 publication "Ingham County Histories: An Annotated Bibliography for Students, Buffs, and Collectors." The donor's 11 original series titles and organization have been maintained, although materials have been boxed based on size and fragility. Select items have been digitized in some of the series and are available online. A significant addition to this collection was transferred by Mr. Wanger to CADL in early 2018 and has been added as the 12th series. Although most of the items in this addition are numbered, they do not correspond to numbers in the 2003 Ingham County bibliography. Several of the items are fragile. Most of the publications in this collection are also available as circulating and/or reference copies in the Capital Area District Libraries system. Contact the <a href="https://www.cadl.org/about/hours-and-locations/mason/">Mason library</a> to access the collection.
