Chicago Sun-Times, July 28, 1995 | Celeste Busk | Copyright
"... Scuba divers and others interested in Lake Michigan history can find a windfall of information about area shipwrecks at the Chicago Historical Society. The J. Norman Jensen Collection contains about 8,500 file cards on lake and river disasters from 1679 to 1947."
The Runge Collection, now called the Great Lakes Ship Files, created by the Milwaukee Public Library: http://www.mpl.org/File/hum_marine_shipfile.htm
These were on handwritten cards, similarly to what the Jensen Collection is on. and may somehow be related to the Jensen Collection, which was about 10,000 4X6 cards at the Chicago Historical Library. I John H. Reed saw the stack of the Jensen cards, about two feet high or more, when I went to that library many years ago, I think in the late 1980's or early 1990's.
