----------------------------Original message----------------------------
While doing my own archival research, I recently found some
correspondence related to an "ecclesiastical exhibit" that was scheduled
to open in Chicago in March of 1931.  The correspondence was between The
Indian Trading Post in Chicago (619 North Michigan Avenue) and the
Spanish Arts Shop in Santa Fe, NM, to arrange the loan of several
"santos", or traditional colonial New Mexican images of saints, for the
exhibit.  It is unclear from the correspondence whether the exhibit was
to be mounted at The Indian Trading Post or somewhere else.

I am interested to know whether or not this exhibit was reviewed in
Chicago newspapers, but I do not have these indexes (I'm operating on
the assumption that major Chicago newspapers from this period *are*
indexed---correct me if I'm wrong and I'll proceed to plan B) at my
disposal.  Is there anyone out there with access to indexes who also has
time to take a quick look to see if there are any references to this
exhibit?

Forever grateful,

Tom
