- 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.

- Description:
- This collection consists of nearly 400 boxes of real estate listing cards and other material for addresses throughout the greater Lansing area, including both commercial and residential properties. It was created in the course of business by the Advance Realty Co. of Lansing, founded by C. Rowland Stebbins. Records make up two series: standard (card) files, and large files. The 4" x 6" card format was a common way real estate listings were recorded and shared by agencies, especially in the 1950s and beyond with the advent of simple card and photo printing systems. Large files are similar but sometimes include rough sketches of a property or a neighborhood section, correspondence, and/or larger newspaper clippings, with most material on 8 1/2" x 11" office paper as opposed to the smaller cards. Materials are organized by street address. A typical address file will include at least one of the following: -Photograph of property -Negative (usually Kodak Brownie format) of property -Sales listing card or sheet, detailing the structure, lot, location, any notes on showing the property for agents, notes on sale price and date. The 4" x 6" sales listing cards usually have a half-tone photograph of the property on the reverse. -Newspaper clippings (classified advertisements or articles) -Sales agent solicitation records -Rental property information -Vacant property information Occasionally odd items such as a housekey have been found in the files. The material was created and maintained by the Advance Realty Co. of Lansing. Advance was founded by C. Rowland "Rollie" Stebbins, the grandson of Cortland B. Stebbins, who was an editor of the Lansing Republican newspaper as early as 1857. The Stebbins family was prominent in Lansing business and local government for several generations.

- Description:
- This collection consists of 49 boxes of real estate listing cards and other material for addresses throughout the greater Lansing area, including both commercial and residential properties. It was created in the course of business by the Belon Realty Co. of Lansing, founded by owner and broker George T. Belon in 1952. It was in existence at least until 1998, but the records in this collection end in about 1970. The 4" x 6" multi listing card format was a common way real estate listings were recorded and shared by agencies, especially in the 1950s and beyond with the advent of simple card and photo printing systems. Materials are organized by street address. For the most part this collection is limited to a property listing card with a photo of varying quality printed on the back, but occasionally there are negatives (usually duplicating the house photos printed on respective cards), some handwritten notes and correspondence, or other items. Many cards have inaccurate designations of "Street," "Road," "Avenue," "Court," etc., and some have incorrectly spelled street names. We have corrected these in the descriptions and file names where possible. Each street is generally treated as an item in this collection with its own database record. Note that streets are sometimes divided into multiple files for direction (N/S/E/W), or if a street runs through more than one community. These files are being added to Local History Online as materials are digitized. This collection is complementary to the <a href="http://cadl.pastperfectonline.com/archive/ED4AE10E-B0EA-4B4B-820E-622451796401">Stebbins Real Estate Collection</a> at CADL as well as a number of other resources useful for property research in the greater Lansing area.

- Description:
- This is a small collection of Lansing area stereoscopic photographs (stereo views). The collection includes several views of the State Capitol in Lansing (constructed in 1879), street scenes, and the Michigan Agricultural College campus. Most of the images are dated, but based on content and/or those with an identified photographer, all can be placed at sometime in the 19th century. Stereoscopic technology was invented in 1849 by Sir David Brewster, and remained in popular use from the 1850s into the 1920s.
