Abstract

The Chicago Press Veterans Association (CPVA) was founded in 1939 as an organization dedicated to uniting journalists with a shared history of covering news in Chicago and beyond. It provided a space for both men and women in the newspaper industry to foster camaraderie through their collective professional experiences. The collection is rich in documentation of the association’s history, including materials related to its annual dinners, correspondence between members, membership lists, event programs, newspaper clippings, photographs, and business and financial records. The collection also includes artifacts like artwork, printing plates, and other memorabilia, which speak to the organization’s efforts to preserve the history of journalism in Chicago.
