The Chicago Foreign Language Press Survey was a Works Progress
Administration effort to translate into English and classify selected
news articles appearing in the Chicago area foreign language press from
1861 to 1938. It was published in 1941 by the Chicago Public Library
Omnibus Project.
For Greek content, numerous titles were indexed from the early 20th
century. These included:
-- American Hellenic world (monthly), 1926-1928
-- Chicago Greek daily (daily), 1921-1932, 1934-1935
-- Democrat (monthly), 1927-1931
-- Greek American news (weekly), 1936
-- Greek news (weekly), 1935
-- Greek press (weekly), 1929-1934
-- Greek star (weekly), 1908-1910
-- Loxias (weekly), 1908-1918
-- Proodos (irregular), 1931-1934
-- Saloniki (weekly), 1913-1931
-- Saloniki-Greek press (weekly), 1934-1936
-- Star (weekly), 1904-1908.
Many microfilm reels of the Press Survey are now available in the
Internet Archives' site, courtesy of the Library of the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Open Content Alliance. As linear
text files, they have somewhat limited usability, but may still be of
interest to your patrons.
