- This collection consists of one large-format newspaper-clipping scrapbook that was compiled by a descendant of R. E. Olds. The clippings primarily represent the activities of the Grand River Improvement Committee, which was formed in the early 1960s by then-Lansing mayor Willard I. Bowerman to address river cleanup and related issues. Clippings also reflect similar activities in other cities in Michigan, the U.S., and internationally. The majority date from 1963 to 1965.

- Description:
- Contains one scrapbook compiled for Claud Erickson and several loose unidentified family portraits by Lansing photographers. The scrapbook is printed on the front with "Claud R. Erickson. President. The City Club of Lansing. 1970-1971." It contains newspaper clippings, "Newsline" newsletters, correspondence, and other items related to Claud Erickson's election as president of The City Club of Lansing. Claud Erickson was born in Manistee, Michigan in 1900, and died in 1993. He earned four engineering degrees from Michigan State University and worked for the Lansing Board of Water and Light for 50 years, serving for a time as director and ultimately having the Erickson Station plant named after him. He was also involved in many other sectors including Ingham County Chairman of U.S. Treasury Savings Bond Drive, the Red Cross, and the MSU Foundation, among others. The seven loose photographs appear to be from much earlier and have no relation to the scrapbook of the City Club. They have not been digitized. One photo is dated 1892. This collection was donated by Jim Perkins.

- This scrapbook contains approximately 100 pages of newspaper clippings collected by Alfred Seymour. The clippings cover a wide variety of topics and people, many of whom appear to have been friends and acquaintances of Chief Seymour from Detroit, Lansing, and elsewhere. Many of the clippings are local obituaries and marriage announcements. There are several loose items in the book, including some receipts for tuition at M.A.C. and membership in women's guilds for Maude Seymour. Due to the item's fragility it has not been digitized in full, only its cover. An index to death notices, obituaries, engagement, marriage, and anniversary announcements found in the scrapbook is linked below. Most announcements do not include a date or newspaper source. Contact the library for more information.
