The Chicago Historical Society has created this digital collection to provide on-line access to its primary source materials relating to the May 4, 1886 Haymarket Affair, a controversial moment in Chicago's past and pivotal event in the early history of the American Labor Movement. For an in-depth analysis of the history of the Haymarket Affair, please visit this external website.

This On-Line link to "The Encyclopedia of Chicago" takes you to an inter-active map showing the dozens of strikes, marches and clashes in Chicago in the week before the historic Haymarket Affair of 1886. A click on any incident brings up a newspaper article reporting on the event and, for about half the incidents, details about the company involved--number of employees, hourly wage, whether children were employed, etc. The map drives home the point that the Haymarket Affair was a culmination of labor protests, not an aberration.
