  Gary Comer imagined an unprecedented photography project: document the city of Chicago in the year 2000. The life-long Chicagoan funded a unique year-long undertaking called Chicago in The Year 2000 (CITY 2000) and then donated its half a million photographs, almost 500 hours of audiovisual materials and project files to the then named University of Illinois at Chicago Library.
