- 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 small collection contains photographs, negatives, and some school material collected by Hilda Menger. Ms. Menger was born in Holt, Michigan, on October 29, 1901. She graduated from Lansing High School in 1920 and went on to become a teacher, working in many of Lansing's schools during her career. She served as principal of High Street, Allen Street, and Fairview schools among others. She earned a bachelor of science degree from Columbia University in 1933, and a master of arts from the University of Michigan in 1950. Records in this collection also reflect that she attended the Michigan State Normal College (later known as Eastern Michigan University) in the 1920s, but it is not clear whether she graduated. Some of the negatives and photographs in this collection are of a farm, likely that of her relative G. Menger. The farm was located in section 17 of Delhi Township. Another Menger farm was in section 21. Most of the photographs and negatives are not identified. Hilda Menger retired from the Lansing schools in 1964, citing poor health. She lived until the age of 93, and is buried in Maple Ridge Cemetery in Holt. This collection was a 1996 estate sale purchase by David Caterino, who then left the collection to the Capital Area District Libraries.

- Description:
- This collection contains photographs removed from three photo albums as well as several loose items. The majority of these photographs have not been dated or identified. The albums were disassembled due to poor condition. The donor was Marilyn Culpepper but it is not clear whether these materials were her own, or those of her mother, Florence Tressler. The first album contained cabinet cards, cartes de visite, and tintypes. Some were marked with Lansing photography studio names, others elsewhere in Michigan, and the remainder out of state or not marked. Most are not identified. The second album included several photo postcards that were addressed to Florence Tressler, mostly in Montpelier, Ohio. Other photographs show portraits, farm scenes, especially pickling cucumbers, some images and postcards from Brazil, Kalamazoo, and Ohio. The third album contained many unidentified portraits of young women, possibly Florence Tressler and her classmates at a women's college. There were more photos of cucumber and other farming scenes, and photos of school children who may have been Florence Tressler's students when she became a teacher. It is possible based on notes from the donor tucked in the album that she graduated in about 1909 from the Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio, which is now part of the Miami University. Loose items include portraits identified "Pictures of my father and my uncle, Holt, Michigan, about 1898" on a note by the donor. There are early 20th century photographs of hunting and falcons, the Lansing High School football team, and houses under construction or just completed on Christiancy and East Main Streets and at 301 and 509 Moores River Drive. Florence Tressler was married to Samuel Glenn Mayer, and their daughter Marilyn Marie Mayer eventually became Marilyn Culpepper. Some photographs in this collection have the name "Mayer" written on the back. This collection has not been digitized. Contact the Local History department for more information.

- Description:
- This collection contains photographs which were possibly collected or donated by the Johns family of Lansing. James Johns was an early Lansing resident who operated a boot and shoe business on Washington with partner Rufus Bailey, and then a grocery business with partner Jeremiah Bunn. The Johns family appears in city directories throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, usually at a residence on South Cedar Street near downtown Lansing. Among the 39 photographs are several tintypes. Only two of the photographs are identified. Many are formal studio portraits with dates of approximately 1865 to 1910. Some were taken outside of the Lansing area as noted by photographers' marks on the prints or frames.
