ELECTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHICAGO (EEC)
EEC provides thousands of historical resources -- including articles, photos, maps, broadsides and newspapers -- related to Chicago's colorful and complex history. EEC includes a vast collection of easily searchable information about the history of the city. One area of interest to researchers is the "dictionary of leading Chicago businesses from 1820-2000," where it is possible to trace current family business wealth back to its beginnings in Chicago's stockyards, stock exchanges and industrial complexes.
