Lillian M. Campbell Memorial Collection, 1858-1940.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/404099502

The Campbell photographs are strongest in two areas. The first is city-wide street scenes, particularly in the neighborhoods of Roseland, South Shore, South Chicago, Woodlawn, Lakeview, Rogers Park, Portage Park, and Logan Square. Of special interest are many pairs of photos showing the same intersection in photos taken twenty or thirty years apart. The second is pictorial documentation of various dedications/openings of trolley and bus lines of the Chicago Surface Lines across the city (gasoline-powered busses being introduced in 1935).

355 photographs.
