The McCormick Theological Seminary Collection is mainly a product of the research and work completed by Elizabeth Ware, a 1998 graduate of DePaul's Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program. Ware purchased one of the 1880s row houses sold by McCormick Seminary in 1975 and was inspired to research her home and neighborhood as part of her graduate program.
