SANBORN'S LAKELAND: Dan Sanborn chronicled the history and development of Lakeland in pictures for more than thirty years. Fortunately for future generations of Lakelanders, Sanborn donated more than 6000 negatives of his photos of Lakeland to the Special Collections unit of the Lakeland Public Library. This is the second in a series of online tours of "Dan Sanborn's Lakeland," in which we share with our patrons what Dan saw through his camera lens. During his long career, Dan documented in pictures the changing face of Lakeland, from the Ku Klux Klan marching on Florida Avenue to the Detroit Tigers in spring training, to army air force cadets training for war at the Lodwick School of Aeronautics, to the ever evolving architectural landscape of the city. We began with the architecture of the city and its interest in sports. This installment features the training regimen of the Lakeland Fire Department and the officers of the Lakeland Police Department in the 1930's, as well as some famous visitors to Lakeland in the same decade.
