The Roosevelt University Archives and the Center for New Deal Studies participated in the annual Chicago Archives Fair held at the Newberry Library. This event introduces students, educators, and historians to primary source materials in area museums, libraries, universities, historical societies, and associations, and assists college and university students looking for research seminar paper topics and elementary and high school students seeking ideas for Chicago Metro History Fair research projects. Researchers were able to talk to RU staff about the collection, schedule research visits, learn about the on-line resources, and hear expert tips about archival research. See photo album (left).
