Ghost Signs


Ghost Signs is a website developed by Nicole Donohoe, MS candidate in Historic Preservation at the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. The site maps overlays of ads, images, and text in Chicago neighborhoods, documenting the palimpest of the past. Contributions of photographs, sign locations or historical information are welcome: email inquires, information, malfunctioning links or other suggestions to Nicole project@hotmail.com. (Tip of the hat to Sue Novak who pointed me to the site.)

Thank you for the write up! I just wanted to correct the hotmail address: it should be photo_project at hotmail dot com or you can email me at nicoledonohoe at gmail dot com.

You'll also be happy to know that I finished the MS and I have 200 more signs that I haven't put on the website yet!
