Update 11

Hello everyone! We have had an exciting and productive last week. Here is a taste of what's been going on and what is to come:

• We have made two very successful trips to the Waukegan Historical Society. Head librarian Beverly Millard has been saving articles on the history and happenings of Waukegan and, more specifically, the Waukegan Harbor herself and was a great help. We also found a great deal of post cards, photos, maps, and drawings that are relevant to our project.
• We also had a great visit to the Lake County Discovery Museum thanks to the help of their archivist, Diana Dretske. She showed us a lithograph of Little Fort (Waukegan's original name) and a watercolor painting based off of the lithograph that were beautiful as well as many helpful postcards, other artists' sketches and maps.
• Yesterday we had an informative interview with Susie Schrieber, chair of the Waukegan Harbor Citizens Advisory Group (CAG)
• The picture I.D. document is nearly complete. We have located all but 18 of 69 photos
• We're looking forward to more interviews in the fall and we're excited about Nichols' upcoming lecture at Lake Forest College on October 27th
