Northwestern University’s Classicizing Chicago Project tracks the way elements of ancient Greece and Rome inform expressions of Chicago’s distinctive identity as an American global metropolis.

The project includes two open access digital resources:

ATLAS is a developing collection of short, illustrated features that exhibit the diversity of uses of classical antiquity in Chicago history and today.

The Bosher Collection is a searchable database of the performances of Greek and Roman drama on Chicago stages.
