Hide Profile

Founded in 1976, the University of Chicago Library's Chicago Jazz Archive initially sought to preserve materials documenting the birth and early growth of jazz in Chicago. In partnership with the Jazz Institute of Chicago the collections grew significantly. Collections now detail more than eight decades of Chicago jazz life and history. Recordings, publications, photographs, articles, posters, programs, ticket stubs, and other ephemera of musicians, clubs, record companies, and jazz organizations are included in the collections.

In 2007-2008, the collections of the Chicago Jazz Archive were transferred to the University of Chicago Library's Special Collections Research Center.
