2012 ANNUAL REPORT
CHAIR’S MESSAGE
It has been an honor to serve for two terms as Chair of the
Chicago Historical Society’s Board of Trustees. Looking back
at what the Museum has accomplished over these four
years, two themes are clear: Chicago’s communities and
fiscal responsibility.
Let’s begin by looking at the community dimension of
many of our exhibitions. When my term began in 2009,
the Catholic Chicago exhibition was winding up, and
now Shalom Chicago has opened — two reminders of
the role of religious communities in Chicago. Together with
our friends at DePaul University, Lincoln Park Block by
Block took a look at our own neighborhood. Burnham
2.0 imagined Chicago’s communities with high-speed
rail in place, all in the spirit of the original Burnham Plan,
whose centenary the whole city was exploring.
As I write this message, Vivian Maier’s Chicago takes
a powerful and unexpected look at Chicago faces and
Chicago streets, and our Ebony Fashion Fair exhibition
is in the final stages of preparation. When it opens
on March 16, 2013, visitors will learn how Chicagobased Johnson Publishing Company used its annual
fashion show as a launching pad for pride, success,
and philanthropic achievement in African American
communities all over America.
In 2009, a long-awaited bicentennial had a powerful
community dimension at the Chicago History Museum.
Abraham Lincoln and Benito Juárez served as presidents
of their respective countries at the same time. We chose to
celebrate the lives of both leaders side-by-side. The Mexican
government loaned our museum national treasures that
never before had left Mexico. Our dedication ceremony
for these exhibitions was a proud moment for Mexico and
for Chicago’s Mexican community. We thank the National
Museum of Mexican Art for its invaluable help.
If you have noticed that partnerships are the key to
great community exhibits, you’re right. Out in Chicago,
our exploration of the rich history of Chicago’s LGBT
communities, came about through long-standing
collaborations with universities, the Elizabeth Morse
Trusts, and the Center on Halsted. A partnership took
on an entirely new level when our temporary show, My
Chinatown, became a permanent exhibit at the Chinese
American Museum of Chicago, thanks to The Chicago
Community Trust.
The other major theme for these four years has been fiscal
responsibility. Each year, I am happy to say, our operations
closed with a balanced budget and we also managed to
build up reserves for a rainy day. By the way, these two
themes are powerfully linked: Without fiscal responsibility,
it would not be possible to fulfill our mission of sharing the
stories of Chicago’s communities.
It has been a privilege to work with our staff and to
serve with my fellow Trustees. I thank them all, and I
thank our loyal members, our two wonderful auxiliary
groups, and our very generous communities of support.
I look forward to great days ahead for Chicago’s museum.

2012 ANNUAL REPORT
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
What does “sharing Chicago’s stories” mean in a digital
world? It means putting our collection to work in ways that
we could not have imagined just a few years ago. Here are
some new initiatives that have taken their place alongside
long-standing digital programs, such as the Encyclopedia
of Chicago and online resources for Chicago’s teachers.
We have the Guild to thank for this year’s launch of
the Great Chicago Fire mobile app, which is equivalent
to holding a 400-page book in your hand with 350
illustrations, plus film and music. Thanks to the Costume
Council, highlights from our costume collection are available
through a new drop-dead gorgeous website. How lucky we
are to have auxiliary groups that believe in our mission!
By the way, we recently reached the 250,000-image
milestone in digitizing our collection of two million photos.
That’s why you are seeing more and more of our images
popping up on TV and film and in magazines and books.
These images also feed sites that we create ourselves:
Tumblr hosts our new photo blog, and YouTube and Vimeo
host our most recent oral history films.
Chicago celebrated Studs Terkel’s centenary on May 16,
2012, and there’s great news on the digital front there as
well. With the help of The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation,
the Library of Congress is engaged in the massive
undertaking of digitizing his 5,400 WFMT radio broadcasts
and his oral history interviews. These tapes are among
our treasures and we look forward to finding ways to
share them.
Digitization reached our manuscript collections in a big
way this year when our Claude Barnett Papers became
available online. That’s 237,600 digitized sheets of paper.
There are many more to come, because our partner,
ProQuest, is identifying new lists of our archives to process
and distribute through libraries and museums around the
country. It thrills us to know that we can share Chicago’s
stories online with researchers and the general public even
when our building is closed.
Visits to our Research Center have changed too. These
days, visitors often snap their own photos of the pages
they look at. This do-it-yourself digitization costs us nothing
and serves the priority needs of individual researchers.
The digital world is like the sports world: it’s great to get
the crowd into the game. Here’s one example. Our very
active “Out in Chicago” Facebook page generates on-going
engagement with the audience. We thank our Facebook
friends for their part in keeping that great exhibition alive so
that it can continue to serve the public.
Unexpected Chicago is our experiment in social media
“spreadability.” We display one artifact for a few weeks
in our museum’s lobby, write about the artifact in our
blog, and then watch reports spread through the media.
It’s great fun to see the power of a single artifact. And
speaking about going viral, this year the YouTube views
of our film about the CHM low rider crossed the onemillion mark.
So you can see, we have a physical collection, but
we also have a growing digital collection. Creating,
managing, curating, and “spreading” digital assets is an
important way that we share Chicago’s stories in new
ways every year.
This new world has its challenges, but the Chicago History
Museum is helping to write the playbook. I can’t think of a
more exciting time for museums since the time when
the first great museum was founded in Alexandria, Egypt,
some 2,300 years ago.

Charles James: Genius Deconstructed
October 22, 2011–April 16, 2012
Visitors to the exhibition Charles James: Genius
Deconstructed viewed the spectacular clothing
designed by the couturier, whose mother hailed
from a prominent Chicago family.
James’ creativity, passion, and unrelenting
obsessions are legendary, but his genius is not
widely understood. As part of the exhibition
research, Museum staff x-rayed some of the
garments in an effort to fully understand the
couturier’s construction methods.
To help visitors further appreciate James’ work,
replicas of three of his most stunning and iconic
pieces appeared in the gallery. Here, a visitor
examines the Clover gown.
Charles James: Genius Deconstructed
was presented by the Costume Council of the

Charles James’ work inspired this
year’s edition of the Museum’s popular
design competition FashioNext. The
four finalists were Trina Hillesheim,
William Jiang, T.K. Perry, and Cynthia
J. Roman. On October 19, 2011, their
creations appeared in a gala runway
show on the Museum’s Uihlein Plaza;
Cynthia J. Roman’s design won the
competition.
The exhibition catalogue for Charles James was a popular item
in the Museum Store.

Magic
June 9, 2012 – January 6, 2013
This exhibition offered an intriguing journey through the history of
magic. A charming multimedia program, an array of artifacts, and special
interactive displays delighted children and adults alike. The fun wasn’t
confined to one gallery; all summer long, magicians roamed the Museum
to amaze and amuse visitors.
Magic was made possible by gifts from the Kipper Family Foundation, the
Crown Family Fund for Exhibitions and Programs, and the Segal Family
Foundation. The Object Theater was provided by The Jacob & Rosaline Cohn
Foundation. Live magician support provided by The Albert Pick Jr. Fund.

2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Unexpected Chicago
The Chicago History Museum’s collection includes more than 20 million objects, documents, and photographs. Every other month, Unexpected Chicago
showcases one of these artifacts along with the stories behind it—some of which may surprise you.
November 2011
Before Hollywood, there was Chicago. Essanay Studios in
Uptown filmed hundreds of movies, and Charlie Chaplin was
one of its most popular stars. This breakaway cane helped
Chaplin do his famous pratfalls.
December 2011
In the game Pie Face,
unlucky players lose points
and take a pie in the face.
Invented by Marvin Glass,
a prolific and imaginative
game developer who
founded his company in
Chicago in 1941, it was only
one of his many creations.
Over the next four decades,
Glass developed and
prototyped toys including
Mouse Trap, Operation, and
Lite-Brite for companies
such as Hasbro and Milton
Bradley.
January 2012
On December 8, 1940, the
Chicago Bears crushed the
Washington Redskins. Most
of the team’s players signed
this championship game ball,
as did franchise coach and
co-founder George Halas.
April 2012
Native Chicagoan and White
Sox owner Bill Veeck was
a master of promotion. He
offered unusual give-aways
and a slew of other game-day
innovations to draw crowds.
This Lou Darvas newspaper
cartoon gently mocks Veeck’s
unusual track record.
Unexpected Chicago is supported by a gift from The Jacob
& Rosaline Cohn Foundation. Even the smallest donation
helps share Chicago’s history with the world in surprising
and fascinating ways. Please consider donating to preserve
Chicago’s treasures.

Tours
History Pub Crawl
The Museum’s popular pub crawls offer a unique
look at the city’s past through its historic watering
holes. The St. Patrick’s Day tour (above) is
especially popular.
In December, the Museum welcomed members
and their families for a festive holiday brunch,
crafts, and fun-filled activities inspired by Chicago’s
favorite winter traditions.
Bike Tours
From the World’s Columbian Exposition to Back of
the Yards, we rode through Chicago’s history with
expert guides. These tours have been a popular
feature of the city’s warmer months.
Graceland Cemetery
Graceland Cemetery turned 150 in 2012. The burial
place of many famous Chicagoans, it also boasts
stunning landscape design. This two-part program
began with a panel discussion of Graceland’s
history; in the afternoon, celebrations moved
outside to the cemetery itself, to admire the
beautiful grounds in person (left).

2012 ANNUAL REPORT
TREASURER’S REPORT
The Chicago Historical Society ended fiscal year 2012
with an operating budget surplus, achieved through
an increase in revenue generated from admissions
and facility rentals. The annual operating revenue
budget of $7,512,406 was exceeded by $212,978.
Although a modest amount, we have allocated these
surplus funds to establish an operating reserve that
will provide some insurance against future revenue
shortfalls or unanticipated operating expenses. We also
were fortunate to have had the strong support of our
trustees leading us in a successful year of fundraising,
a critical role in the financial health of the museum.
providing innovative educational resources, presenting
high-quality exhibitions and programs, and reaching out
to new audiences.
At year-end, the value of the museum’s investment
portfolio was $72,326,163, a decline of $4,454,758
from the prior year, following two years with positive
returns. There also was a negative change in the value
of an interest rate swap agreement of $11,106,991,
due to the low interest rates. Carried as a liability of
$18,656,451 in the financial statements, the reduction
in net assets would only be realized if the swap
agreement was terminated. These are the two primary
factors resulting in an overall decrease in net assets of
$16,838,473 for the fiscal year.
Patrick Dolan
Treasurer
The fiscal year results and financial position are
presented in the following charts. The financial
statements have been audited by Grant Thornton
LLP, independent certified public accountants, and
their report contains no exceptions or qualifications
as to financial position and results of operations. You
may request a copy of the full audited report from
the Finance Office at the Chicago History Museum.
Fiscal 2012 also represented the successful completion
of year two of an ambitious strategic plan. In the
year ahead, we anticipate that the economy may still
present challenges for organizations such as ours and
for their constituents. Nevertheless, the trustees,
management, and dedicated staff look forward to
achieving new goals in the year to come, strengthening
existing relationships with our generous supporters,
