Is there an archive from 1894 and earlier of Chicago Police Mugshots? I am doing genealogy research and the individual was arrested and taken to the DesPlaines Street Station in Chicago. I have a specific date and reason of the arrest.

You might want to check with the Chicago Library info center they are incredible.

I didn't see anything like that only about the gangs of Chicago. I didn't have enough time to see everything because it's tons of information there

Sorry I didn't see any records of that nature either. Perhaps you should contact the museum directly.
