- Description:
- In spring 2008, a committee of Lansing Rotary Club members and community leaders convened to plan Lansing's sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary celebrations. One of the many projects was an oral history initiative spearheaded by retired MSU Arts and Letters professor and author Marilyn Culpepper. Students in MSU's American Studies 881 course assisted in the creation, transcription, and editing of the recordings. The purpose of the project was to provide historical context for the year-long celebrations. About 20 interviews were done, and have been digitized by the Forest Parke Library & Archvies at CADL in 2015 and 2016. Any interview for which there is a signed release on file is available for access online; those without releases may be accessed in the Local History Room at CADL. All interviews have been transcribed and are available in the Lansing 150 booklet that is linked in each record.

- Description:
- This collection consists of the notes of a handwritten draft and tapes and transcripts concerning Harry Wilson's autobiography covering his life up to 1941. Also there are tapes and transcripts of interviews between Harry Wilson and Dennis Walle (archivist of the University of Alaska, Anchorage, in the 1980s) concerning his life and work. There are also copies of correspondence between Wilson and members of his family; drafts of a book he was writing; copies of articles and poetry he wrote; copies of World War I photographs; a copy of a family scrapbook; a college catalog and other papers concerning Lansing Community College; newspaper clippings about himself; and other papers. Harry Wilson was born in England in 1897. He joined the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I as a surgical orderly. He later transferred to the Flying Corps and served in France from 1916 to 1919 as a radial engineering specialist, occasionally flying reconnaissance as a gunner. After returning to England in 1919, he joined a group of engineers and then migrated to Canada. In 1923 he moved to Michigan and worked as a tool designer. He received his pilot's license in 1932. During World War II he was involved in military and civilian flight training programs at Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, Mich.) where he helped organized the Department of Aviation Mechanics. After the war, Wilson helped set up aviation training for the eleventh and twelfth grades at Lansing Technical High School, and later participated in the organization of Lansing Community College. In 1963, he worked with the United Nations International Aviation Organization in Montreal on an aviation training program. In 1964, he worked on the development of Lansing Community College's aviation training program. He was also an author and wrote poetry and a number of magazine articles. He died in 1984 in Anchorage, Alaska. This collection was transferred to the Forest Parke Library & Archives at CADL in January, 2018.
