- Description:
- This is an artificial collection of materials associated with a young woman named June Wood who lived on Lansing's East Side. They were found when a later owner was doing interior renovation, inside the ceiling of a home on Fairview Street in 2018. Because of where they were stored for many years, the documents are covered in coal dust. Most dated materials are from the 1930s. The collection includes correspondence of June's, and what appears to be a government class notebook or scrapbook. School grade cards for both June and her brother Theodore are also included. June Florence Wood was born in Lansing on June 24, 1920, to Florence and Herbert Wood. She had several siblings. On December 20, 1940, she married Robert Claxton Robinson, who was from New Jersey. He joined the Army and they relocated to Hawaii, among other locations. June Wood Robinson died on January 8, 1998, and is buried in the Massachusetts National Cemetery with her husband who died in 2017.

- Alfred Seymour Collection
- Description:
- This collection contains materials collected by Alfred Seymour related to his career in the Detroit Police Department and Lansing Police Department. While in Detroit, he provided security services for the evangelist Billy Sunday at a revival meeting in Buffalo, New York, in about 1917. Materials related to this event are included, as are extensive materials about his activities with the International Chiefs of Police, including correspondence with and about J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. One collection highlight is Seymour's personal statement reporting his activities during the "Labor Holiday" in Lansing on July 7, 1937. A crowd threatened to attack his jail to break out eight persons held there for strike-related activities. Seymour describes his isolation after failing to obtain support from the Mayor of Lansing, the Michigan State Police, the Governor, prosecutors, and judges. The incident was ultimately resolved without bloodshed. Seymour also collected materials from his involvement with the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police. The collection includes newspaper clippings, photographs, memorabilia, and two personal scrapbooks.
