The 1893 World's Columbian Exposition The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library proposes to digitize approximately 20 books about the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. The Exposition is a perennially popular topic with researchers, and our collection is large, with many early volumes as well as more recent works. The selected titles, all published between 1890 and 1894, include handbooks for fair-goers, photographic works, and two federal publications that date from the planning stages of the fair. Two titles are in foreign languages (German and Swedish), representing the international interest in the Exposition and the ethnic makeup of Chicago at the time. The list of potential titles has been compared to previously-digitized OCA titles, and also to items owned by the Illinois Institute of Technology that are currently in line to be digitized by the 2008-09 CARLI Digitization Initiative, and does not duplicate these titles.
Abraham Lincoln Monographs Over the past year, UIUC has been searching copyright renewal records for materials in our Illinois History and Lincoln Library that were published between 1923 and 1963. Books published in the U.S. during this time period are in the public domain if their copyright registration was not renewed. We have identified approximately 400 titles related to Abraham Lincoln in our collection that fall into this category. As we have digitized other publications that fall into this category, we have included a statement in the metadata in both the Internet Archive record and our OPAC record that states "Public domain. Published in the U.S. between 1923-1963 but no evidence of copyright renewal found. Contact dcc@library.uiuc.edu for information." We will be submitting a proposal to digitize these titles via the CARLI Book Digitization Initiative.
Albert R. Taylor Biographies Project The Staley Library at Millikin University is proposing the Albert R. Taylor Biographies Project. The purpose of this project is to convert the books, Life Story of James Millikin by Albert R. Taylor and Autobiography of Albert Reynolds Taylor from physical to electronic-digital format. Albert R. Taylor was Millikin University's first President and he worked closely with James Millikin, one of Central Illinois' most renowned bankers and philanthropists, in creating and developing the university in Decatur, Illinois. Both books provide a unique glimpse into the lives of two prominent participants in Illinois history, and this project will make these resources more readily accessible to those interested in Illinois culture and heritage.
Armour Institute & Lewis Institute Yearbooks The Armour Institute of Technology & Lewis Institute were the 2 principal predecessors of IIT. Their yearbooks, published from 1903-1940 (Lewis) & 1898-1940 (Armour), represent snapshots of college & Chicago life during roughly the first half of the Twentieth Century. 78 volumes.
Cairo: Delta City of Illinois Located at the convergence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, the southernmost town in Illinois was founded in 1837 by the Cairo City & Canal Company. Cairo was an important port city for steamboats in the 19th century, and it served as a headquarters for General Ulysses S. Grant during the Civil War. It is home to spectacular late nineteenth and early twentieth century architecture, and many of the city's buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Cairo has captured the imagination of many writers and artists throughout history, and it is mentioned in Charles Dickens' American Notes for General Circulation, Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Neil Gaiman's American Gods. Southern Illinois University Carbondale will digitize books related to the rich history of this unique city in Southern Illinois.
Chautauquan Ephemera Collection The Marshall Brooks Library and the Village of Elsah Museum have a unique collection of Illinois Chautauqan history. The library has copies of the Piasa Daily Chautauquan from Friday, July 21, 1897 through Thursday, August 18, 1898. The Village of Elsah Museum has a scrapbook of programs from 1889 to 1901, 1903, 1904, 1909-1919, 1921-1952, 1954-1955. Other miscellaneous material include a copy of the by-laws from 1909, poster from 1919, undated brief account of the origin from M. Treese, The Piasaquan from 1933 and a guide to the grounds. We would like to work together to have this unique collection available to others.
Chicago: Growth, Destruction, and Rebirth During the nineteenth century Chicago knew growth, destruction, and rebirth. We propose digitizing several volumes on Chicago from the Loyola University Chicago rare book collection, which document the development and growth of the city, its destruction during the Great Fire of 1871, and its rebirth.
Chicago History History of Chicago by A. T. Andreas, Volumes 1 & 2 Chicago in Pictures & Poetry
Chicago Union Station District Fire of 1922 Two reports on the conflagration of March 15, 1922 in Chicago's Union Station District.
Digitization of Northwestern University Transportation Center Published Reports We would like to propose a project to digitize over 400 titles published by the Northwestern University Transportation Center. http://transportation.northwestern.edu/ The Center: Since 1954, the Center has been recognized as a leading interdisciplinary education and research institution. It is dedicated to the long-term improvement of domestic and international systems for the movements of materials, people, energy, and information. The Center draws its faculty from diverse departments of the University - economics, engineering, finance, logistics, management, the social sciences, and law. The collection: The titles cover all modes of transportation: air, rail, inland waters, and roads. Subjects include transportation networks, labor, regulations, IT, accidents, nanotechnology, bibliographies, etc. These titles vary in length, are multivolume and single volumes; almost all are 8.5 x 11 inches; with a variety of bindings: commercial bound, comb binding, etc. All are either fully or partially catalogued and all bibliographic records will be reviewed and enhanced before digitization.
Historic Health and Medicine Publications of Chicago and Illinois Chicago's role as a center of population has ensured that it has played an historic part in the development of medicine in the U.S. As early as the mid-nineteenth century (or 1860 or whatever), the city functioned as an important center of medical education and was also prominent in its efforts to protect the public's health. The UIC Library of the Health Sciences holds a number of important public domain books that document medicine in Chicago during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including directories of physicians and services, biographical encyclopedias, and annual reports of important medical institutions.
Historical Reports The Waterworks System of Chicago. A report to the Chicago Commission on City Expenditures (1911) Chicago Traction. A study of the effects of the public to secure good service (1908) Report of the Rivers and Lakes Commission on The Illinois River and Its Bottom Lands (1915)
Historical Sketch of Armour Mission Armour Mission is the first predecessor organization of Illinois Institute of Technology. This booklet, published by the Mission in 1905, presents an illustrated historical sketch of Armour Mission as well as a directory of the Mission's Sunday school & tributary organizations. (1 volume)
IIT News & Press Releases, 1939-1975 These press releases cover the planning & development of IIT's landmark Chicago campus, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as the massive changes in the surrounding Bronzeville neighborhood. They also cover other important events taking place at IIT or sponsored by the university.
Illinois Appellate Court Unpublished Opinions Digitization Project We propose to digitize a collection of unpublished Illinois Appellate Court opinions housed in the John Marshall Law Library. The Appellate Court produced written copies of unpublished (i.e. non-precedential) opinions from 1900-1975. These opinions, often hand-typed on onionskin, were collected and bound for the Chicago Bar Association (CBA) and consist of approximately 250 legal-size volumes. This set is one of only two remaining copies; Cook County Law Library has some volumes. The CBA's volumes are disintegrating from age and use and need to be digitized in order to be preserved. Though unpublished, these opinions still bear legal significance because they were indexed and abstracted by West Publishing and included as part of the Illinois Digest, one of the main research tools for Illinois law. Practitioners still rely on these cases to provide guidance on what the law is in Illinois. Without them, part of Illinois legal history will be lost.
Illinois Catholic History Catholics have made significant contributions to the history and culture of Illinois from its discovery by Europeans to modern times. We propose digitizing several volumes of the Illinois Catholic Historical Review, published from 1918 to 1929, which highlight these contributions in order to make the journal more widely available to researchers.
Illinois Civil War Regimental Histories Online Western Illinois University proposes to digitize a collection of regimental histories for Illinois Civil War regiments. These volumes, which deal with activities of regiments from various parts of Illinois, summarize regimental activities, the regiment�s organization, the battles they fought and sometimes include the names and fate of soldiers who served in each regiment. Since the sesquicentennial of the beginning of the Civil War is in 2011, providing access to these volumes will enable people, from grade school students to scholars, to learn more about the activities of Illinois soldiers in the Civil War.
Illinois Culture and Heritage As a small community college, it is rare that we have materials past the 1923 copyright date that are unique. However, a small group of books exist on local-Illinois history that we would like to see digitized. At a maximum, there would be five titles. At a minimum, we would like to digitize the following 2 titles/ 5 volumes: Title not digitized: Andreas, A. T. (Alfred Theodore), 1839-1900. History of Chicago. From the earliest periods to the present time. Chicago, A. T. Andreas, 1884-86 V. 1. Ending with the year 1857 V. 2. From 1857 until the fire of 1871 Titles on "Internet Archive" but not on "Illinois Harvest": Volume 3 of History of Chicago listed above; Hubbard, Gurdon Saltonstall, 1802-1886 The autobiography of Gurdon Saltonstall Hubbard, Pa-pa-ma-ta-be, "The swift walker". Chicago, R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., 1911. Bartlett, Charles Henry, 1853-1937; Tales of Kankakee land New York : Charles Scribner's Sons, 1907, c1904.
Illinois Culture and Heritage Collaboration The Illinois State Library (ISL) is interested in collaborating with the Illinois State Historical Society (ISHS) to digitize its Journals and Transactions published since 1923, as well as material in the general collection published by ISHS. This will compliment a project ISL and ISHS are working on that will provide access through the Illinois Digital Archives (www.idaillinois.org) about cultural entities, businesses and not-for-profits that have applied for the Centennial Awards, the annual recognition from the society for organizations that have been in operation in Illinois for 100 years. Additional material from ISL's Illinois Government Documents collection that supplement the material in the ISHS publications will also be scanned, including The Official Vote of the State of Illinois: General Elections; The Transactions of the Illinois State Agricultural Society; Illinois Farmers' Institute Annual Reports; and the Illinois Data Book & Illinois Statistical Abstract, an excellent source social and economic information about Illinois.
Illinois Great Rivers As mentioned in our statement of intent with last year�s digitization initiative, we here at Lewis & Clark Community College are uniquely positioned within the confluence of three major rivers - the Missouri, Mississippi and Illinois. As such, our college has joined a partnership with the University of Illinois Urbana - Champaign and the Illinois Natural History Survey to forge the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC). NGRREC is a leader in scholarly research, education, and outreach related to the interconnectedness of large rivers, their floodplains and watersheds, and their associated communities. Many of these communities are in Illinois. Unfortunately much of the research produced by NGRREC is still considered "gray literature" and not available to researchers around the world. Our hope is to continue our effort to make this important research freely available via the OCA digital archive through this initiative offered by CARLI.
Illinois History Through the Local Lens For more than a century, researchers have ventured to the Newberry Library to work with our vast local and family history collection. To serve diverse online communities (e.g., historians, students, the general public) through the CARLI Book Digitization Initiative, we propose to digitize local history and biographical materials and other rare materials relating to Illinois and Chicago.
Illinois Writers Program Online Western Illinois University proposes digitizing a collection of materials related to Illinois history that were written during the Great Depression as part of the Illinois Writers Program and Federal Writers Project. The titles include city guides from the American Guide Series and several other Illinois-related volumes which were funded by the Works Progress Administration during the Depression to collect and preserve local history. These guides are a true snapshot at this critical moment in our state's history. Together, they provide an important contribution to Illinois history and culture. They are truly worthy of digital preservation and wide-spread distribution.
Industrial Education in Chicago Chicago Exhibition of Industrial Schools (1908) Opportunities in School & Industry for Children of the Stockyards District (1912)
Journal of the ... annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Illinois. 1835-1876 Journal of the ... annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Illinois. 1835-1876 Journal of the ... annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Illinois. 1835-1876 JOURNAL OF THE ... ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE DIOCESE OF ILLINOIS. 1835-1876 The Episcopal Church came late to Illinois but over a period from 1835 through 1876 grew to become a significant force in the state and in the nation thanks to the efforts of Philander Chase, Henry John Whitehouse, and Edward McClaren who served as the first three Bishops. In many ways this development parallels that of the state itself growing from an agrarian base to embrace a second urban progressive culture. The Cullom-Davis Library holds all the journals issued by the Diocese of Illinois beginning with the primary convention in 1835 when the seat was located a few miles from Peoria until 1876 when the state was divided into three dioceses with headquarters in Quincy, Springfield, and Chicago. Similar sets are held by ten libraries in the United States, three of them in Illinois. The journals for 1872 and 1876 are also available on the Internet.
Kindergarten Magazine, a Chicago Publication NLU proposes to digitize volumes of Kindergarten Magazine, a publication that began in Chicago in the late 1880s. Originally published by Alice B. Stockham & Co., it subsequently was published by the Kindergarten Literature Co. and the Kindergarten Magazine Co., all in Chicago. Kindergarten Magazine appeared monthly between September and June and was collected into annual volumes ranging from about 650 to 900 pages. The content at first consisted of short, one- to five-page articles and later of longer articles of five to 10 pages contributed by, among others, Alice B. Stockham M.D., Cora L. Stockham, Alice H. Putnam, Elizabeth Harrison (all from Chicago), Lucy Wheelock (Boston), Patty Smith Hill (Louisville), and Constance MacKenzie (Philadelphia). In addition to reports from the National Educational Association and International Kindergarten Union, Kindergarten Magazine also published news from Kindergarten associations around the country and overseas.
MANUAL TRAINING MAGAZINE-1899-1914 Manual Training Magazine was edited by Charles Alpheus Bennett, a founding faculty member of Bradley and an internationally known figure in the Industrial Arts Education Movement which swept across England, Europe, and the United States at the turn of the nineteenth century. In addition to offering advice on teaching specific skills, the magazine served as a forum for more theoretical discussions which still speak today to questions about the nature and purpose of vocational education. Bennett's Manual Arts Press became a major publisher of textbooks in the industrial and applied arts as well as in domestic economy. Articles are still frequently cited and there is a growing demand for reprints. Bradley holds Vol. 1-23 from the first issue in1899 to 1914 when the magazine was merged with Industrial Arts Education. Although a number of libraries own individual volumes, complete runs are relatively rare and only three years are currently digitized.
McKendree University: Illinois' Heritage Seen Through its Yearbooks We wish to build a collection of the yearbooks of McKendree College / University. The dates range from 1900 - present day (approximately 100 annual volumes). These works clearly document student activities through the decades, the state's growth, the development of institutions of higher education in southern Illinois and the religious roots of Illinoisans.
More Illinois Authors Building on the previous year's project all of the materials to be digitized are monographs written by authors from other portions of the state, mainly eastern, western and southern Illinois. Although many of the most famous Illinois authors have their materials digitized and accessible, this project seeks to make available other less well known authors, and fits firmly within the theme of "Illinois Culture and Heritage." The selection of authors has been made to cover a wide range of subject matter from comprehensive treatment of topics to personal papers. This grouping of authors was selected to expand the awareness of Illinois authors beyond the most well known and add depth to the corpus of Illinois authors currently digitized.
The Murder of Elijah Lovejoy: A Nation Mourns Elijah Parish Lovejoy, a Presbyterian minister and abolitionist printer, served as the editor of the anti-slavery paper the Alton Observer in Southern Illinois from 1836 to 1837. In a little over a year, his printing presses were destroyed three times by pro-slavery mobs. On November 7, 1937, Lovejoy was shot and killed while defending his fourth Alton press, which slavery advocates were attempting to destroy by incinerating the building in which it was hidden. Following his death, he was mourned throughout the United States as a martyr for the abolitionist movement and for the freedom of the press. Southern Illinois University Carbondale will digitize nineteenth century books and pamphlets documenting the impact of Lovejoy�s death.
Nursing in Illinois: Early Texts Published in Springfield, Illinois We propose to digitize 4 nursing handbooks published in Springfield from 1899-1905 by St. John's Hospital Training School (now St. John's College). These handbooks are among the earliest nursing textbooks in the United States and are modeled after Florence Nightingale's 1859 Notes on Nursing. The volumes follow Nightingale's question and answer format. Texts range from 250-271 pages. Digitization will provide access to the history of nursing as taught in Sister's training schools, which flourished in the late nineteenth century. The titles are: The Nursing Sister: A Manual for Candidates and Novices of Hospital Communities (1899) The Nursing Sister: A Manual for Candidates and Novices of Hospital Communities and Beginners (1900) The Nursing Sister: A Manual for Beginners of Hospital Training Schools in Questions and Answers, with a Chapter on the Method of Training (1905) The Nursing Sister (1905).
THE PEORIA MEDICAL MONTHLY: 1880-1887 The Peoria Medical Monthly was published from 1880 to 1891 by Dr. Thomas McIlvaine and contained major articles written by physicians across the country describing illnesses and treatments encountered in general practice, editorials about ethics and quackery, and an abstracts column that translated reports from international journals. The latter was particularly important to physicians isolated from larger medical centers. This journal is significant because it was published in a city that was the second largest in Illinois and the home of the oldest medical society in the state during period that marked the transition of medicine from a largely unregulated avocation to a profession. Only Volume III (1883) is available on the Internet. Of the eleven United States libraries known to hold hard copies of some numbers, four are in Illinois. The Cullom-Davis Library holds Volume I, No. 1 (May, 1880) through Volume VII, No. 12 (April, 1887).
Purple Parrot Magazine Digitization The project involves digitization of the "Purple Parrot," a celebrated humor and feature magazine published between 1921 and 1950 by students of Northwestern University. The magazine reflects very strongly the youth culture of its time. Its articles and graphics pertained to topics and places of interest to a broad audience of Chicago collegians. Early issues of the magazine are in the public domain. Later issues were published through an agency of Northwestern University, the host institution.
Rock Valley College Publications These materials are items published by Rock Valley College that have interest to a broader audience due to their significance to local history, genealogy, and the history of higher education in the Rockford area. Items include RVC yearbooks (1966-1973), student literary publications, and a collection of family histories written by RVC students. Other similar publications may be included as well.
Rockford City Directories In partnership with Rockford Public Library this project would digitize volumes of the Rockford City Directory from its beginning in the 1870's through 1922. These volumes are in the local history collection of Rockford Public Library.
Roman Catholic Reference Of the 151 titles in CTU's reference collection that were published before 1923, 29 fall within the call number range of BX800-4795, the Conspectus category for the Roman Catholic Church. Of the 218 serials titles that began publication before 1923, 116 fall within the call number range of BX800-4795. The library�s intent is to make items within these non-circulating collections more broadly accessible by identifying works that not widely held by other libraries, with the possibility of digitizing all 29 reference titles and as many volumes of the 116 serials titles as are no longer under copyright.
Selections from the Lawrence J. Gutter Collection of Chicagoana The Lawrence J. Gutter Collection of Chicagoana consists of over 5,000 items including printed books, periodicals, maps, prints, and manuscripts relating to the history of Chicago. The Collection, amassed by Mr. Gutter beginning in 1948, was acquired by the UIC Library in 1982 and is the foundation for the Daley Library's Rare Book Collection. Subject matter varies widely, though much of it relates to the city of Chicago in some way: its buildings, commerce, historical events, populace, and renown. Selections from this collection have been added to the Open Content Alliance holdings in the past, but the potential for further digitization is great.
Testimonials of Women Religious under Eastern Communism The archives at CTU contain manuscripts of testimonials of women religious who were imprisoned under Eastern Communism between 1949 and 1989. These testimonials come from women in the present day Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, the Ukraine, and Lithuania. The manuscripts in their original languages are in the archives, while the English translations have been bound and cataloged for the library's circulating collection. It is the library's intent to digitize the English translations of the testimonials in order to increase awareness of the experiences of these women and to make the contents more widely available to the public.
Yearbooks of the Commercial Club of Chicago The Commercial Club of Chicago was established in 1877 to promote civic, social, and economic initiatives in the Chicago metropolitan region, including the commission of the Plan of Chicago by Daniel Burnham in 1909. The Yearbooks of the Commercial Club of Chicago include names of membership and reports from officers for this important civic institution in Chicago. These yearbooks also include agendas and proceedings for the regular membership meetings and special meetings. IIT would like to contribute 12 volumes from 1911-1923.
