The Puerto Rican Cultural Center Collection tells the story of the Juan Antonio Corretjer Puerto Rican Cultural Center in Chicago. The Center was created in 1973 to address both the social and cultural needs of the community. This digital offering was produced as part of a collaborative project between the Special Collections Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the University of Illinois Graduate School of Information and Library Science, and the Center. Users of the site can make their way through photographs, newspapers, books, and other ephemera. Currently there are over 400 items in the collection, which visitors can browse at their leisure or search via the included search engine.
