- Description:
- This collection contains a wide range of newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and other periodically-published literature from the greater Lansing area. The materials are are a mix of general news (some specific to certain areas of Lansing or other nearby communities); industry and in-house publications; club or organization newsletters and papers; marketing and advertising magazines and newsletters; or political papers. Most are loose individual issues but some of the titles have been bound and/or are on microfilm. Some are very fragile and cannot be photocopied or scanned, but camera photography may be possible. For several titles, we only have a single issue, but for titles with a range of issues/years, there are often missing issues. See the container lists for each title for complete holdings. The collection does not include large runs of the major Lansing newspapers, such as the State Journal, which are available on microfilm or online through library or other databases. Container lists are updated as we add new titles and issues to the collection.

- Description:
- This is an artificial collection of Stockbridge local history materials assembled by library staff. There are several themes and types of materials within the collection. It is likely that more will be added. Themes represented in the collection include family histories, business history, church and cemetery information, general local history topics, the proposed Superconducting Supercollider (1980s), the Waterloo area, and some other regional history. Types of material include photocopied newspaper articles and documents, and some original clippings. There is a large group of area telephone directories from different publishers. Published family, church, and business histories, and newsletters of several area organizations are also in the collection. Some of the newspaper clippings come from scrapbooks that were kept by local individuals such as Mary Lessie Ramsdell Farrington (the Ramsdell Clippings and Scrapbook) or Casper W. Glenn (the Alaniz Clippings) on the theme of vital records or Stockbridge events and activities. These often have some type of index. Other clippings, such as those from the Town Crier, are organized chronologically and have no other index (Note that clippings from 2003 were not found.). There are a few maps and some local/state government reports and studies in the collection as well.
