Historical Note
The Illinois Newspaper Project (INP) began in 1987, as part of the United States Newspaper Program (USNP), a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to identify, catalog, and preserve American newspapers. Since that time, the INP has been staffed by librarians from the Illinois State Historical Library (ISHL), the Chicago Historical Society (CHS), and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library.
Scope and Content
The newspapers chosen for the 7 microfilm reels in this collection cover Chicago neighborhood and independent African American and Latino papers that derive from originals held at Chicago History Museum. The inventory below reflects the Chicago History Museum’s catalog records. The chart below matches different titles to respective neighborhoods or subjects.
The inventory is organized into 2 series: Series 1: African American Newspapers and Series 2: Latino Newspapers.
The African American Newspapers in Series 1 span several South and West Side neighborhoods as well as Chicago generally. In some instances, only one issue may be represented. The papers on these reels complement the runs of newspapers held by Chicago Public Library.
The Latino Newspapers in Series 2 contain 15 different titles, many of which are in Spanish or in Spanish with some English language. Some of these newspapers are limited to only one or two issues.
