We introduce the "ChICAGO" (Chandra Imaging of Compact ASCA Galactic Objects) survey, designed to identify the unknown X-ray sources discovered during the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey. ASCA studied the inner region of the Galactic plane, -45o < l < 63o and |b| < 0o.4, in the energy band 0.7-10 keV with a spatial resolution of 3". The poor spatial resolution resulted in very few of the 163 sources being identified. Little is known about the remaining objects, especially those that primarily emit in the range 2-10 keV. In ChICAGO, we plan to identify all these unidentified ASCA sources by obtaining sub-arcsecond localisation from Chandra, combined with multi-wavelength follow-up derived from recent surveys, archival data and new observations. We will here present first results from our archival efforts. When completed, ChICAGO will provide a new understanding of the distributions, birth-rates and evolution of Galactic X-ray sources, with a particular focus on the progenitors and products of core-collapse.
