Collecting Chicago

DuSable Museum of African American History, Chicago

Welcome to Chicago, S-USIH colleagues! Betwixt and between the many excellent panels at our annual meeting, we hope you find some time to catch up with colleagues, savor new scholarship, and explore the city. With that in mind, here are a few wonderful archives, museums, libraries, and public history sites for you to discover the presence of the past in Chicago. More ideas and recommendations are welcome in the comments! Share word of your history adventures in Chicago, and tag @Ideas_History or #USIH2018 online so that we can add to the list of suggestions. Have a great conference, all!
