Weaving the Past: Collected Academic Works

Weaving the Past is a collection of published academic works authored or co-authored by historian Cole Klicker. This section brings together research papers, journal articles, and book contributions that reflect a commitment to rigorous scholarship and historical understanding. Each work represents a strand in the larger fabric of historical inquiry—interweaving analysis, archival research, and interpretation to explore the connections between local narratives and broader national or global contexts.

From studies of wartime industry and Illinois history to examinations of political thought, economic development, and the evolution of historical memory, these works demonstrate a consistent pursuit of clarity, context, and truth within the historical record. Together, they showcase the intellectual craftsmanship behind Klicker's academic journey and his ongoing efforts to preserve and interpret the past through a historian’s lens.
