Dennis McClendon, who created one of Chicago's most iconic and useful guides: the color-coded map of the CTA’s L lines, has died at 67 from complications of cancer. He was a highly skilled cartographer and part of an elite group of Chicago history buffs. trib.al/v38CZ0k

The beginning of a beautiful friendship: Welcome to @ChiCollections, @EvanstonHistory! As a fan of both, we say hooray. EHC's collections of organization & civic records, personal papers, photos, etc, add a significant resource to Chicago-area research! tinyurl.com/4u6sjdrd

We are inspired!
When the researchers are away, the archivists will play! Live from our research room, here is a rousing game of archival Hollinger box Jenga for the #ArchivesGames #ArchivesHashtagParty.
We admit defeat. Who can tell us what this board game is from member @chipublib? #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesGames
