- Description:
- "The Voices of Lansing: An Oral History" was a project sponsored by the Lansing Public Library, the History Committee of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the R. E. Olds Transportation Museum with assistance from the Oldsmobile History Center. Interviews took place between 1988 and 1991. It was supported by a City of Lansing Outstate Equity Grant. The goal was to create a body of oral history recordings documenting the Capital region with the following focuses: -The Library would focus on surviving mayors and government personalities. -The Museum would focus on contributors to the area automotive industry. -The Chamber would focus on leaders of business and industry, and workers long left out of printed resources. Although the project never was completed, due mostly to hangups in the transcription process, many interviews were done and have been digitized by the Forest Parke Library & Archvies at CADL in 2015. Any interview for which there is a signed release on file is available for listening online; those without releases may be accessed in the Local History Room at CADL. If a transcript or summary of a recording is available, it is also linked to its record online in PDF format.

- General Motors bought the failed Durant Motor Works plant on Verlinden Avenue in 1935 and moved the local Fisher Body operations there. It was later renamed the Buick-Oldsmobile-Cadillac plant, and the Lansing Car Assembly plant, but was known by most locally as Fisher Body. The last auto body was produced there in May 2005, and the plant was stripped and demolished over the next two and a half years.

- Description:
- These records from the Greater Lansing Chamber of Commerce span the years 1913 to 1976, with the majority being from the 1960s. Most were the personal files of local realtor and Chamber board member Rollie Stebbins, with the exception of two scrapbooks for which the provenance is not known. Included are membership rosters, Board of Directors meeting packets, information on an annual conference at Tippy Dam, and annual folders which contain a mix of minutes, correspondence, meeting notices, partial membership lists, lists of prospective memberships, and other material. There are also two scrapbooks containing clippings of local and regional interest, about the Chamber and about government and other activities in the Lansing area, and some correspondence and other printed material produced by the Chamber itself. One scrapbook contains content dated 1913 to 1928; the other contains strictly newspaper clippings and dates from 1928 to 1935.
