Jerry Lawler History Research Materials

Jerry Lawler, a long-time employee in the Michigan State Capitol and a dedicated history researcher, compiled historical timelines and files on many topics relevant to local history research. The originals were saved on now-obsolete computer systems, and require extensive conversion and clean-up. As each new set of files is complete, we will be posting them here.
