Scope and Contents note

The Chicago Seed (Newspaper) Photograph Collection Includes photoprints from the alternative newspaper Chicago Seed. Some photoprints relate to the 1968 Democratic Convention demonstrations in Chicago, the civil rights movement, and other national social and political issues. Negatives show a construction project, an earth-moving project, and an unidentified event with a crowd, possibly in a park. A contact sheet, stored with the negatives, shows the earth-moving project.
