- Title page: "Lansing Area Park Development: A project of the Lansing Area Community Resources Workshop in cooperation with Michigan State University, by Jean H. Nilsen and Susan Zerbst. Director: Mrs. Frances B. Schneider; Assistant Director: Ralph Chapman. July, 1969." The report is bound with two pieces of stained wood and a leather cord, and the cover design and title were done with a woodburning tool. This report includes a list of parks; a historical sketch of the early park system by Birt Darling; information about the city's Parks and Recreation Department, Urban Renewal projects; and other information about the park system. Some charts and indexes cut from other publications are included (with no sources given), and color snapshots for many of the parks are also in the report. These photos have been scanned individually in addition to the full report document. Contact the library for more information.

- Description:
- These records from the Lansing Business Men's Association document some of the organization's activities in helping to establish Lansing as the home of several strong industries in the early 20th century. Although the records are incomplete and sometimes fragmentary, minutes, memos, and other material point to the group's efforts in purchasing land that was then sold to businessmen such as R. E. Olds, and in the oversight of the paving of Michigan Avenue "macadam road" from the Capitol to M. A. C. (Michigan State University). Lists of factories in the area, three unattributed speeches, and financial records are also included in the collection. Most material is organized in files by year. The Lansing Business Men's Association was in existence from its founding in 1901, through 1911 when it was reconfigured to follow the chamber of commerce model that existed in many cities already. For more information on the LBMA and the history of the Chamber of Commerce, see <a href="http://www.lansingchamber.org/?page=ChamberHistory">this link</a>.
