The Chicago Public Library system is home to over 500 unique archive collections as well as historic municipal publications and a wide range of neighborhood newspapers.

This session will focus on the design and implementation of Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), with particular focus on a CURE I have developed in my 300- level environmental science course.

Lake Forest College received a four year Mellon grant to produce student/faculty research into Chicago's at-risk history and create digital projects to share the results of the research. The College partnered with the Chicago History Museum, who now host the project (http://digitalchicagohistory.org/).
