Historical Note

Like many of Chicago's well-established neighborhoods, Austin has been served over the years by several different newspapers. Reporters for these local papers closely followed community events and people. Stories about community controversies, political trends and prominent local citizens, as well as articles about local businesses, churches, social organizations, and schools dominate the reporting in these neighborhood papers. Often, a sense of the community's bias toward or against particular issues is readily apparent. The newspapers also provide information on contemporary business establishments, especially through their advertising.

After experiencing a number of years without a regularly-published community newspaper, in the mid-1980s Austin residents could again find neighborhood news in not one, but two community newspapers: The Austin Voice and the Austin Weekly News. The first to be published was the Austin Voice, which began as a weekly in 1985. A division of Megamedia Enterprises, the Voice promised "a steady flow" of Austin news, features, advice, and life. While focusing primarily on the Austin neighborhood, the Austin Voice also served the Garfield Park and Lawndale communities, and featured articles on area gangs, businesses, hospitals, schools, churches, and politicians. The Austin Weekly News began operations in 1986, and is currently published by the Oak Park Wednesday Journal. The News´ masthead reads: "Working together to reflect the Austin Community" and section titles include "Health", "Military Notes", "Austin Entrepreneurs", and "Across Austin." Finally, the Windy City Word, another newspaper distributed free of charge, serves the greater West Side of Chicago. "Reporting progressive news weekly," the Word includes articles on fashion, the arts, schools, public utilities, and health.

Scope and Content

The ANC consists of an initial accession and one supplementary accession. 

Initial Accession (Boxes 1-10)

The bulk of the ANC consists of runs of the The Austin Herald, The Austin News, and The Austinite. Additionally, the collection holds an issue each of Austin Topics and The Austin Vindicator in oversize folders (see Series IV). Recent donations of contemporary Austin area newspapers have necessitated the creation of a supplement to the ANC. 

Each paper is arranged chronologically. Duplicates were removed from the collection and were returned to the Austin Branch Library's historical collection. 

Series I: The Austin Herald, 1876
This one-issue series consists of the second issue of the first volume.

Series II: The Austin News, 1970-1975
This series preserves an almost complete two-year run of The Austin News. The early 1970s were especially unsettling years in Austin: dramatic demographic changes precipitated racial tension and in some instances, violence. The Austin News chronicles this episode in Austin's history and is a good contemporary counterpart to the historical archival materials held in the Austin Community Collection.

Series III: The Austinite, 1911-1980
The Austinite has been Austin's most enduring newspaper. It was published by Pioneer Press, which now serves the suburbs of Chicago with 48 community newspapers. The Austinite offers a good historical overview of Austin's commercial development with advertisements, club announcements and general news stories, especially over the first 25 years of its publication.

Series IV: Oversize Newspapers
This series currently consists of only two items: a 1924 issue of Austin Topics and a 1905 issue of the Austin Vindicator.

Supplement 1 (Boxes 11-26)
Supplement 1 of the Austin Newspapers Collection contains runs of both the Austin Weekly News and the Austin Voice from 1987 to 1997. Issues of the Windy City Word run from 1991 until 1997.

Series V: The Austin Voice is arranged in chronological order in ANC Boxes 11-15.
Series VI: The Austin Weekly News is arranged in chronological order in Boxes 16-24.
Series VII: The Windy City Word is arranged in chronological order in Boxes 25-26.

Provenance

Materials in the initial Austin Newspaper Collection (ANC) were gathered by members of Austin historical associations and through subscriptions held by the Austin Branch of the Chicago Public Library. The newspapers were was stored in a file cabinet at the branch until November 1984, when Special Collections, working under the auspices of a Dr. Scholl Foundation Grant, appraised, transferred and processed the materials according to archival standards. 

The newspapers in the supplement were transferred to the Special Collections and Preservation Division by the Austin and North Austin branches of the Chicago Public Library. The most current issues of the newspapers are retained at the branches.

Access

The ANC is available for research in the Special Collections and Preservation Division Reading Room on the 9th floor of the Chicago Public Library's Harold Washington Library Center, 400 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60605. The collection does not circulate, although photocopy and photoreproduction services are available depending upon the condition of the original materials. First time patrons to Special Collections must present photo identification and complete a Reader Registration Form. Telephone inquiries on this collection and other Special Collections holdings can be directed to 312-747-4875.
