The Chicago Historical Homicide Project is not, so far as we know, a dastardly conspiracy or a bad rock band, but rather a remarkable online archive that began with the discovery of a rich log of more than 11,000 homicides maintained consistently and without interruption by the Chicago Police Department over the course of 60 years, from 1870 to 1930. The fact that these records were kept without interruption by a single institutional record keeper makes these files an important new resource for the study of homicide, crime, urban development, the police themselves, and, of course, Moose Jaw.
