| | Chicago Historical Society - Neighborhoods: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Inspired by the Chicago Historical Society's (CHS) mission to collect, interpret, and exhibit the diverse histories of Chicagoans, Neighborhoods: Keepers of Culture documents the history of four Chicago neighborhoods: Douglas/Grand Boulevard, Rogers Park/West Ridge, Pilsen/Little Village, and Near West Side/East Garfield Park. |
 | | These neighborhoods reflect a broad range of experiences and represent old and new immigrant and migrant groups, over forty spoken languages, diverse racial and ethnic perspectives, class stratification, numerous religious affiliations, and multiple political, social, and economic agendas. |
 | | Neighborhoods: Keepers of Culture is an attempt to encourage positive social change through extensive collaboration among CHS staff, "keepers," parents, activists, teachers, cultural workers, and others who engage in daily efforts to create and sustain a flourishing neighborhood. |
