The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library, in cooperation with the Center for Research Libraries, will digitize 100,000 pages of Lithuanian, Czech, and Polish newspaper content published in Chicago from 1836 and later, and publish them in the Library of Congress’s Chronicling America digital newspaper portal. Since 2009, Illinois has contributed over 300,000 pages of English-language newspaper content to Chronicling America. With this project, Illinois will offer unique, historically significant newspaper content from its Eastern European immigrant communities, many of whom played a major role in Chicago’s rapid growth in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the development of its distinctive cultural and political landscape.
