Chicago Foreign Language Press Survey


From the Newberry Library:

"The Chicago Foreign Language Press Survey was published in 1942 by the Chicago Public Library Omnibus Project of the Works Projects Administration of Illinois. The purpose of the project was to translate and classify selected news articles that appeared in the foreign language press from 1855 to 1938. The project consists of 120,000 typewritten pages translated from newspapers of 22 different foreign language communities of Chicago."

Thanks to Liz (one of our Genealogy Tip of the Day fans on Facebook) for passing this along.
