The illustrated publications serve as an excellent source for Grand Rapids scenes and landmarks as well as filling the function of being attractive lures used by the Chamber to bring about a positive attitude in re Grand Rapids among others.

The publications are also a record of topics the business community, through the Chamber, felt were of importance and/or concern, and the industries in the city that were most advantageous to its economy and image. Included in the series is the in-house journal of the Chamber, The News Bulletin. Meant for local consumption, The News Bulletin gives an inside view of issues of concern or interest within the Chamber and the community. A copy of the City Renewed book by Gordon Olson, and published with funds from the Chamber of Commerce Foundation, will be added to this collection, when available. “Greater Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce News” also called & later called “Grand Rapids” was moved to this collection from Local History Periodicals. The banner changed to “Grand Rapids” with the January 1970 issues. The title was purchased by Gemini Publications, and is commonly know as “Grand Rapids Magazine”, as of January 1980.
