IMLS NITRATE NEGATIVE DIGITIZATION PROJECT

In 2016, the Museum received funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to digitize and upgrade the storage of its historically significant yet rapidly deteriorating collections of cellulose nitrate negatives. Containing more than 35,000 negatives in more than seventy individual collections, these nitrate holdings document Chicago and nearby communities, as well as various people, places, and moments in American history, from the 1890s through the 1950s. Most materials do not exist in any other format and are critical to the Museum’s and researchers’ ability to share and interpret the city’s history.

AN EVENING OF INTRIGUE

In anticipation of the exhibition Spies, Traitors, and Saboteurs: Fear and Freedom in America, the Guild of the Chicago History Museum hosted a spy-themed fundraising event featuring Valerie Plame Wilson interviewed by Mary Ann Ahern of NBC Channel 5 News.

A former CIA covert operations officer, Wilson worked to protect America’s national security and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Her best-selling book Fair Game examines the notorious CIA leak case and the resulting conviction of the vice president’s chief of staff, Scooter Libby. She tells the real story behind the leak and describes her life at the CIA and what happened when her cover was blown.
