The Newberry, an amazing independent research library that we'll visit during the institute, generously posts digital collections for us all to enjoy.  Take some time to explore their Digital Collections for the Classroom, you'll find topics across the humanities!  The following collections were co-authored by some of our visiting scholars:
  • 1893: Chicago and the World's Columbian Exposition (Diane Dillon)
  • Chicago Workers during the Long Gilded Age (Leon Fink)
  • The Jungle and the Community: Workers and Reformers in the Turn-of-the-Century Chicago (James Barrett)


Here are some other highlights that relate to our Institute from their Digital Resources and Publications: 
  • Make Big Plans: Daniel Burnham's Vision of an American Metropolis
  • Daniel Burnham in the Philippines
  • ​CB&Q: Building an Empire
  • Pullman: Labor, Race, and the Urban Landscape in a Company Town (we'll take a tour here)
  • American Indian Histories and Culture
  • Chicago and the Midwest
  • Encyclopedia of Chicago
  • Foreign Language Press Survey (more on this in a future post)
