Archives
Archives/Special Collections contributes to the public service and teaching functions of the University of Illinois at Springfield by supporting and promoting the research use of primary source materials. Its goal is to locate, acquire, preserve, and make available for research the most significant historical records of Sangamon State University (1969-1995) and the University of Illinois at Springfield, as well as regional history records and manuscripts whose research strengths support the University's mission. As a member of the Illinois Regional Archives Depository System (IRAD), administered by the Illinois Secretary of State/Illinois State Archives, UIS Archives serves as one of seven depositories in the state for local government records useful for historical and genealogical research. Special Collections includes non-circulating library material such as rare, valuable and fragile books and periodicals. The UIS Archives also houses a significant oral history collection, and a growing online collection of digitized resources.
