- This is a collection of Lansing and regional photographic prints and negatives assembled by David Caterino.

Series 27, Lansing Photographers, consists mainly of unidentified studio portraits gathered primarily to identify early Lansing photographers. The subjects of the photographs in those boxes is less significant than the photographers' stamps on cabinet cards and other formats.

- Liberty Show House in 1929, after bombing. Three show houses were bombed at this time. Brick, commercial, 2-story building with three sets of upstairs windows. Just below the windows is a large sign “LIBERTY.” On the street level below the sign are large display windows, one of which holds a movie poster for a Harold Lloyd movie (title is obscured by people standing in front of it). The other window bears a sign “Open for business”. A corrugated roof overhang is attached at the top of the building, and short brick towers at each end rise from ground level to a little above the roof. Each of the towers also has a display window at ground level, with movie posters displayed. About a dozen warmly dressed people are standing here and there in front of the theater, and there is snow on the ground.
