Individual Fieldworker Reports

  • 100% Completed

Each of the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project fieldworkers was responsible for documenting particular cultural communities, as based on their backgrounds and expertise. For example, the late ethnomusicologist and musician Mick Maloney documented Irish community leaders and artists, including famed dancer Michael Flatley, the Chicago-born creator of Riverdance. To meet the project aims, they each compiled their field notes (and other sources of information) into type-written reports, rich with detail on so many of the people and places that made 1970s Chicago whirl with cultural activity.
