Introduction to the appendices:

The appendices contain lists of frequent clients of the firm, including architects, and common topical terms used to describe in part 2 of the Hedrich-Blessing photograph collection. The lists are not exhaustive indexes. Terms found in these appendices are searchable in ARCHIE, the online catalog of the Chicago History Museum, Research Center (available on the Internet at http://www.chsmedia.org ).

 

The appendices include a bibliography of source material about Hedrich-Blessing, a key to the stock file codes used by the firm, a sample catalog record for a job-file, and a complete list of job-files for which catalog records are found in the online catalog.

 

Searching the online catalog to find descriptions of HB photographs:

Each Hedrich-Blessing job-file or stock-file of photographs in the collection is described in a catalog record in the online catalog found at http://www.chsmedia.org or on the Web-site of the Chicago History Museum, Research Center at http://www.chicagohistory.org/research .

 

When using the General Keyword search, it is best strategy to list as few words as possible that will find the topic of interest and then add the word "Hedrich" to the search. For example, to search for buildings designed by the firm of Dubin, Dubin, Black & Moutoussamy, it would be efficient to enter these search words:

Dubin Hedrich

 

Please note the call numbers displayed at the bottom of each catalog record. These HB-numbers are needed in order to request job-files in the Chicago History Museum, Research Center.
