the Illinois State Archives are celebrating their 100th
Anniversary this summer! On June 20th, 1921, Illinois
Governor Len Small signed the legislation that created the Archives. Since then, the Archives have worked tirelessly to preserve Illinois history for future generations.
The Illinois State Archives are a priceless resource for
genealogists, and many an Illinois family historian has certainly demolished a
brick wall by using records made available through the hard work of the
Archives. ISGS is proud of our years of partnership with the Archives. Over the
years we have assisted in locating, organizing, indexing, and digiting many
record sets throughout the state.
Please join us in wishing a hearty congratulations to the
Illinois State Archives on this milestone anniversary! And if you haven’t
already, be sure to check out “Finding Ancestors in the Land of Lincoln,”
Dr. Joens’ wonderful introduction to the genealogical treasures that can be
found in the Archives. This webinar is available for FREE on the ISGS home
page- https://ilgensoc.org/.
