Abstract
The Adam Glinka Collection consists of four Super 8mm home movies taken by Adam Glinka between 1979 and 1985. Some of the films capture Adam’s everyday life shortly after he arrives in Chicago in 1979—his first job, shopping at Camera Central in Uptown, and Pope John Paul II’s visit to the city. Other films document the birth of Adam and his wife Elizabeth’s first child, trips to visit family in Elizabeth, vacations in Colorado, Christmas, and Easter spent with friends.
