We introduce the "ChIcAGO" (Chasing the Identification of ASCA Galactic Objects) survey, designed to identify the unknown X-ray sources discovered during the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey (AGPS). Little is known about most of these objects, especially those that emit primarily in hard X-rays (2-10 keV). In ChIcAGO, we are combining the subarcsecond localisation capabilities of Chandra with a detailed multi-wavelength follow-up program, with the goal of classifying the >100 unidentified sources in the AGPS.In this poster, we will present some of the initial identification results from optical and infrared follow-up observations of hard (X-ray) and red (optical/infrared) ChIcAGO sources.
