Illinois Town Centennial Newspapers
Composite newspaper
collection at the Chicago History Museum
This
collection consists of newspapers published in cities in Illinois during their
centennial anniversary. All newspapers in the collection are identified as
being the “centennial edition” and recognize 100 years since the town’s settlement,
founding, or incorporation.
All
newspapers in this collection are cataloged individually. See the catalog
record for complete information on available dates and issues, including dates other
than the centennial. Consult microfilm instead of fragile originals for the
dates when microfilm is available. Use a blue call slip to request material,
indicating the title of the paper, call number, date, and format. The call
number for hardcopy newspapers in this collection is “Illinois Town Centennial
Newspapers”.
This
collection has not been digitized. However, please see the catalog records for possible
information on individually digitized content.
Collection
assembled by the Chicago Historical Society from various sources.
