Additional materials related to this proposal are available only to logged-in member users.

This project would digitize the Center for Research Libraries’ holdings of a German language newspaper Abendpost, which was published in Chicago, IL 1889-1950, and in 1950 merged with a Milwaukee paper to become Abendpost und Milwaukee Deutsche Zeitung until publication ceased in 1991.

The holdings to be included in this digitization project are from 1894-1925, with some gaps.  This material would then be openly accessible through CRL’s online platform. 

Reasons for consideration: 

This title, an influential paper which the Chicago Tribune derisively called the "Chicago Hun-tongued newspaper" (June 04, 1918, p. 7), and which was barred from mail to Canada by the Canadian government during World War I, has not been digitized elsewhere and would be valuable for scholars in North America,  Europe, and elsewhere who are interested in the German-American community in Chicago.  It was the largest foreign language daily paper of its time in the Midwest.
