  Millennium City: Richard M. Daley & Global Chicago was created by Special Collections and University Archives, University of Illinois Chicago Library. It draws on oral history interviews conducted from 2017-2019 by Peter Cunningham, a friend of Mayor Daley who worked for him as a speech writer.
  
  The interviewees include most of the mayor’s chiefs of staff, some of his deputy chiefs of staff, a number of his political advisors, and persons who headed city agencies during his twenty-two year tenure (1989-2011). Also included are family members, community leaders, some critics, and former United States Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. See the complete interviews and transcripts.
  
  The online exhibit also features photographs and other materials from the Richard M. Daley papers, the Richard J. Daley collection, and other archival collections housed at the Special Collections and University Archives, University of Illinois Chicago Library:
