- These records from the Greater Lansing Chamber of Commerce span the years 1913 to 1976, with the majority being from the 1960s. Most were the personal files of local realtor and Chamber board member Rollie Stebbins, with the exception of two scrapbooks for which the provenance is not known. Included are membership rosters, Board of Directors meeting packets, information on an annual conference at Tippy Dam, and annual folders which contain a mix of minutes, correspondence, meeting notices, partial membership lists, lists of prospective memberships, and other material. There are also two scrapbooks containing clippings of local and regional interest, about the Chamber and about government and other activities in the Lansing area, and some correspondence and other printed material produced by the Chamber itself. One scrapbook contains content dated 1913 to 1928; the other contains strictly newspaper clippings and dates from 1928 to 1935. For more information on the history of the Chamber of Commerce, see <a href="http://www.lansingchamber.org/?page=ChamberHistory">this link</a>.

- A small collection of materials from the estate of Lansing violin maker Clarence Nolan (C. N.) Bartow. The collection contains a file of 35 photographs and 31 negatives of scenes including a United States Overseas airplane, several vacation photos at different motel swimming pools, an outdoor aquarium, a hunting trip, and several of Barstow in his violin shop, instruments, and other unidentified people with musical instruments. Also in the collection are two rubber stamps, one from the violin shop and another used by Barstow in the 1970s when he served as an Ingham County Notary Public. Correspondence from his travels to family and to Barstow from others, assorted business cards, and blank business forms from the violin shop make up the remainder. Bartow learned to make violins beginning in 1947, with studies in Dearborn (Mich.), Germany, and Italy. His instructor in Dearborn was John Hitter, an Austrian who had come to repair historic instruments for the Henry Ford Museum. He set up his Lansing shop in a second-floor studio in 1951, in the 300 block of South Washington Avenue. He died on August 10, 1984, in Lansing.

- 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:
- "The Voices of Lansing: An Oral History" was a project sponsored by the Lansing Public Library, the History Committee of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the R. E. Olds Transportation Museum with assistance from the Oldsmobile History Center. Interviews took place between 1988 and 1991. It was supported by a City of Lansing Outstate Equity Grant. The goal was to create a body of oral history recordings documenting the Capital region with the following focuses: -The Library would focus on surviving mayors and government personalities. -The Museum would focus on contributors to the area automotive industry. -The Chamber would focus on leaders of business and industry, and workers long left out of printed resources. Although the project never was completed, due mostly to hangups in the transcription process, many interviews were done and have been digitized by the Forest Parke Library & Archvies at CADL in 2015. Any interview for which there is a signed release on file is available for listening online; those without releases may be accessed in the Local History Room at CADL. If a transcript or summary of a recording is available, it is also linked to its record online in PDF format.
