The Field Guide to Chicago Buildings was developed as a
collaborative effort between the City
Design Center at the University of
Illinois at Chicago and the Chicago
Teachers' Center of Northeastern Illinios University
with funding from the National Endowment of the
Humanities and the United States Department of
Education.
Research
An important challenge in doing research on buildings is to combine information gained from an inspection of the building itself with materials found in the library, on the Web and from other sources. Below are a few of the sources that might be consulted.
• Sources on American Architectural
History
• Sources on Chicago
Buildings
• Libraries
• Oral Histories
