The Daley Archive

In 2002, the Daley children donated the late Mayor's papers to the Richard J. Daley Library at UIC. The Richard J. and Eleanor Daley Archive - which includes photographs, film, letters, official documents, speeches and other materials - is currently being processed and catalogued, a process expected to take several years. Controlled access to the archives will begin once the processing and cataloguing is completed and the university has published protocols for their access. It is anticipated the protocols will be similar to those used at presidential libraries and for other historic collections.
