- This collection consists of one large-format newspaper-clipping scrapbook that was compiled by a descendant of R. E. Olds. The clippings primarily represent the activities of the Grand River Improvement Committee, which was formed in the early 1960s by then-Lansing mayor Willard I. 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.
