- Description:
- The Lansing Poetry Club was formed in 1938 as an outgrowth of an evening poetry-writing class that was taught by Marjorie Rey Hanhardt. The club held its first meetings at Grove's Dinette in Lansing, and Mira T. Moore was its first president. The club published an annual yearbook beginning in 1939 as well as occasional anthologies; the first of those, entitled "Tapers," is not included in this collection and club members have identified it as missing. There are other gaps in the run of yearbooks as well. A 50th anniversary history book in this collection, "The Lansing Poetry Club, The First 50 Years: A History and Anthology" contains a section outlining the history and activities of the club over the years. Most of the available yearbooks have been digitized by CADL, as has a group of poetry readings from 1982 done by members of the club. The entire collection's contents are identified in the Container List; digitized items are linked from the Child Records.

- 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.
