Hyde Park Historical
Society Archives Updated and Expanded
The
Hyde Park Historical Society is pleased to announce
the completion of a year-long project with Special
Collections Research Center at Regenstein Library to
expand and update the archives. The publicly
available material in the collection has increased
from the original 30 boxes, collected and organized by
our original Archivist, Jean Block, to 179
boxes. The added material was largely collected
by Emeritus Archivist Stephen A. Treffman and is now
organized into a detailed 92 page finding tool, which
is available online and 100% searchable. In
addition, the collection of 119 boxes of materials
from the Hyde Park Cooperative Society has been
organized with a separate finding tool, also available
on line. Finally, the Hyde Park Kenwood Razed
Buildings collection finding tool has been revised to
include street names and numbers.
Those interested in exploring the archives will find a
wealth of fascinating material related to Hyde
Park. Follow the links below to access the finding
tools.
