IRADs are OPEN for your Family History Research!




The Illinois Regional Archives Depositories (IRADs) are now all fully staffed and ready to help you with your genealogy research! Each of the 7 IRAD locations contains local government records from the counties, townships, municipalities, and school districts within its region.

New interns are starting their positions at each of the IRAD locations, and are happy to assist you via mail or telephone! CLICK here to visit the IRAD home page, learn more about their records collections, and how to contact your local IRAD.

Are you planning an in-person visit to an IRAD? If you are an ISGS member, be sure to check out our "Good to Know" series, available on the member page of the ISGS website. This series walks you through the logistics of visiting several of the IRAD locations- including where to park, what to bring, and even where the outlets and vending machines are located. Be prepared with "Good to Know!"
