While the program intends to create a shared intellectual experience on campus, we realize not all students can meet these demands due to commuting, work, children, etc. The world class offerings of Chicago cultural institutions, as well as those of your own community, also provide invaluable experiences to connect you to a larger cultural and intellectual community and expose you to the ways in which you can continue your education once you venture out into the “real” world.

  • The Newberry Annual Report 2019–20
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2019–20 30 Fall/Winter 2020 Letter from the Chair and the President Dear Friends and Supporters of the Newberry, The Newberry’s 133rd year began with sweeping changes in library leadership when Daniel Greene was appointed President and Librarian in August 2019. The year concluded in the midst of a global pandemic which mandated the closure of our building. As the Newberry staff adjusted to the abrupt change of working from home in mid-March, we quickly found innovative ways to continue engaging with our many audiences while making Chair of the Board of Trustees President and Librarian plans to safely reopen the building. The Newberry David C. Hilliard Daniel Greene responded both to the pandemic and to the civil unrest in Chicago and nationwide with creativity, energy, and dedication to advancing the library’s mission in a changed world. Our work at the Newberry relies on gathering people together to think deeply about the humanities. Our community—including readers, scholars, students, exhibition visitors, program attendees, volunteers, and donors—brings the library’s collection to life through research and collaboration. After in-person gatherings became impossible, we joined together in new ways, connecting with our community online. Our popular Adult Education Seminars, for example, offered a full array of classes over Zoom this summer, and our public programs also went online. In both cases, attendance skyrocketed, and we were able to significantly expand our geographic reach. With the Reading Rooms closed, library staff responded to more than 450 research questions over email while working from home.

  • History of the Newberry Library
    Newberry Library – History of the Newberry Library Edward E. Ayer Library Room, 1943. NL Archives 15/01/03 Bx. 3, Fl.#82. The Newberry Library was founded in 1887 by a bequest of Chicago land developer and city leader Walter Loomis Newberry (1804-1868). Newberry was an early Chicago resident, arriving in the city in 1833 from Detroit. He quickly became involved in a variety of business ventures, and made his fortune in railroads, real estate, and banking. The young city also counted on Newberry’s involvement in other ways: he helped found Chicago’s Young Men’s Library Association in 1841, served on the city boards of health and education, and was president of the Chicago Historical Society from 1860 until his death. Newberry’s final decade was marked by declining health, and he traveled to France numerous times for medical treatments. He was on one of these regular journeys to France when he died at sea on Nov. 6, 1868. Newberry is buried in Chicago in Graceland Cemetery. Newberry’s will provided for the establishment of a free public library on the north side of Chicago— but only if his surviving daughters died without issue. (At the time of Newberry’s death, Chicago did not have a public library. The Chicago Public Library was founded six years after Newberry died, in 1874.) The daughters, Mary Louisa Newberry and Julia Rose Newberry, both died within 10 years of their father. Newberry’s wife, Julia Clapp Newberry, died in 1885. Newberry’s wishes for a library were finally honored two years later, when half of his estate ($2.1 million) went towards the founding of the Newberry Library.

  • Chicago Area Disaster Response Resource File
    CHICAGO AREA DISASTER RESPONSE RESOURCE FILE Compiled at the Newberry Library 2009 (Updated 2016) CONTENTS INTRODUCTION. 3 MUSEUM/ LIBRARY CONTACTS. 4 HUMAN RESOURCES. 5 SERVICES . 13 EQUIPMENT . 22 SUPPLIES . 32 INDEX . 43 ONLINE CONSERVATION & COLLECTIONS CARE RESOURCE . .44 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY. 46 2 INTRODUCTION The history of the Chicago Area Disaster Response Resource File is outlined in the original introduction written over 20 years ago and reprinted in full below. The usefulness of this resource seems more relevant than eve, however, as we enter a millennium when global warming and its effects – extreme weather - have become common. The original document, intended to assist in the planning and implementation of disaster response and recovery, remains a practical tool in the preparation of Chicago area disaster response manuals for institutions large and small. It has been updated to include new members of DRAT and also includes websites and email addresses of individuals and companies as appropriate. The document includes listings for Human Resources, Suppliers, Services, and Equipment, and is available through the Newberry Library as a pdf with active links to listings. For more information or to obtain a copy, please contact me at [email protected] Barbara Korbel Collections Conservator(Retired) The Newberry Library February 2009 The idea for this resource file evolved from two independent projects begun by two different groups of professionals. Both projects, however, were inspired by the same event. In the late afternoon of July 11, 196, an exposed water main behind the Chicago Historical Society broke and began shooting water into the air. Before it could be shut off the water had filled a large foundation pit which had been excavated as part of the CHS building project.

Details of the activities of each section of the Museum are found in the following pages. In contrast to the continuity of the Museum’s programs and activities, we regret to report a major change: the departure of Chief Curator Geoff Emberling, in mid-October 2010. The Museum prospered and matured under Geoff’s leadership. He completed the reinstallation of the permanent galleries and then instituted the special exhibits program, overseeing nine exhibits over his six-year tenure at the museum. Under his guidance, the special exhibits matured as procedures for their review and implementation were established. The exhibits became more complex and professional, with exhaustive and attractive catalogs and, more recently, with audio guides and interactive components. Working in partnership with Director Gil Stein, Geoff led the Museum forward on the adoption of an integrated database that will change the way the entire Oriental Institute will work, conduct research, and interact with scholars and the public.
