The South Side Home Movie Project (SSHMP) collects, preserves, researches, and screens home movies made by residents of Chicago's South Side neighborhoods. The Logan Center serves as home to the SSHMP film vault.

An initiative of Arts + Public Life, the SSHMP brings materials that are typically kept in private collections into public light and discussion. Unique in its focus on home movies from this region, SSHMP aims to build an alternative, accessible visual record, filling gaps in existing written and visual histories, and ensuring that the diverse experiences and perspectives of South Siders will be available to larger audiences and to future generations.
