ne of the more important aspects of being a historical society is the dissemination of historic information to our members and researchers. To that end, the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society presently offers five books on the history of our part of Chicago.

The first society-authored book is entitled: CHICAGO’S FAR NORTH SIDE, An illustrated History of Rogers Park and West Ridge, by Neal Samors, Mary Jo Doyle, Martin Lewin, Michael Williams (162 pages, paper back, ©2000-2001)

Your New Historian

W
e have recently redesigned our newsletter The Historian. After we put out the March 2009 issue, several members of the Publication Committee took a long and hard look at our newsletter and literally dozens of newsletters put out by other organizations. Our goal was to determine how to keep or improve what was good about the current design, and make any changes that would better serve our readership.

The results of a number of meetings and working sessions are reflected beginning in the July 2009 issue.
