DescriptionCOLLECTIONS AND RESEARCH The museum seeks to utilize and showcase the museum's premier collections, including our unparalleled collection of Abraham Lincoln materials. The institution seeks to discover the power of original historical materials and to improve access and maximize the collections. It allows people to engage in making personal connections to history and the artifacts represented. It makes these materials available to the public through multiple platforms. The museum's 22 million-item collection is one of the most treasured history collections. It includes the second largest Costume collection in the U.S., the Hedrich Blessing photography collection, a Betsy Ross flag and the complete library of Studs Terkel interviews. Efforts are ongoing to photograph, digitize and catalogue the collection to make it more accessible to visitors, students and researchers. The Research Center had more than 15,000 patrons in FY11 and there were more than 100,000 inquiries that utilized our online curriculum and online collections research capabilities.Description

DescriptionEXHIBITS Provide stories in multiple languages in the exhibitions text panels along with photos, video and the historic artifacts. These enable a visitor to explore the concepts of history. The exhibits are designed, fabricated and installed so that our audience is interacting with the history. The key component of an exhibit is communicating Chicago's stories to our visitors. In addition to ongoing permanent exhibitions such as "Chicago: Crossroads of America" and "Lincoln's Chicago" the Chicago History Museum presents topical exhibitions that focus on the stories of Chicago's many diverse communities. FY2011 exhibitions included "My Chinatown", "Out in Chicago" and "I Do: Chicago Ties the Knot".Description

SchD_P03_S00_L01Schedule D, Part III, Line 1The Chicago Historical Society's permanent collections, which were acquired through purchases and contributions from benefactors since the inception, are not recognized as assets on the statement of financial position. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the items are acquired or as temporarily or permanently restricted net assets if the net assets used to purchase the items are restricted by donors. Contribution collection items are not reflected in the financial statements. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset classes. The Chicago Historical Society's collections are made up of artifacts of historical significance and art objects that are held for educational, research, and curatorial purposes. The items are cataloged, preserved and cared for, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are routinely performed.
SchD_P03_S00_L04Schedule D, Part III, Line 4The Chicago Historical Society collects, exhibits, and interprets documents, images and artifacts related to the history of metropolitan Chicago and the United States. The mission is to expand audiences for history, be a leader in history education and a premier research institution.

SchD_P05_S00_L04Schedule D, Part V, Line 4To provide a predictable stream of funding to the programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets.
SchD_P10_S00_L02Schedule D, Part X, Line 2"In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") (now referred to as ASC 740-10-25-6. "ASC 740"). "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes- An interpretation of FASB Statement 109," which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by the taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the position may be challenged. The Chicago Historical Society is exempt from income tax under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the IRC. The tax years ending 2008, 2009, and 2010 are still open to audit for both Federal and State purposes. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on The Chicago Historical Society's financial statements."
