- Description:
- Dennis Preston doodled on napkins at several Biggby locations in the greater Lansing area for over ten years. The napkins were entertainment for customers as they waited for their drinks. If a customer liked a napkin, or more than one, they would give a $10 tip to the barista and take the napkin. The whole tip went completely to the barista. This series is a sampling of the many napkin doodles. The artist has noted that the doodles are not actual people. Dennis may have been inspired by someone, but these are not caricatures, they are all made up.

- Description:
- This is a collection of 26 volumes of tax records for various locations in Ingham County, dating from 1907 to 1939 with many gaps. Communities represented include the townships of Lansing, Leroy, Delhi, Vevay, Wheatfield, White Oak, Alaiedon, Bunker Hill, Ingham, Meridian, and Locke, as well as towns of Leslie, Mason, East Lansing, Dansville, Stockbridge, Williamston, and Onondaga. Rural/unincorporated areas (identified as plats or farms) around greater Lansing and the county are also included. In most cases information is listed by legal description of the land parcel, usually by plat or subdivision, so a search for a particular individual can be time consuming. The ledger volumes are large, very dusty, and often in poor condition. All of the records are handwritten. None of the volumes have been digitized or indexed. They can be accessed in the Local History Room.
