Archives/Special Collections
Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD)
| 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.
Archives/Special Collections' materials are open to the public
unless restricted by law or contractual agreement with a donor. All
material must be used in the archives reading room.
Photocopying and scanning services and microform reader/printers are available.
Audio and videotapes and electronic records may be viewed in the
Educational Technology Media Lab (LIB
140).
