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 Steve 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.
