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.
