Collection Description[edit | edit source]

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum absorbed the collection of the Illinois State Historical Library in 2004. This is an excellent reference library for finding Illinois people. Published sources include extensive county histories with an every-name index. Holdings include the Daughters of the American Revolution and State Genealogical Society collections. They have the most extensive collection of newspapers (on microfilm) in Illinois, including some pre-statehood newspapers. Their large manuscript collection has many family papers.[4] [5]

Holdings consist of photos, broadsides, oral histories, 12 million manuscripts items such as letters and diaries of Civil War soldiers, the personal papers of legislators and governors, and the records of businesses, 5,000 newspapers, 72,000 books and pamphlets, 3,000 maps, and 1,200 periodical series. This includes family genealogies; county histories; cemetery inscriptions; atlases and plat books; indexes and transcriptions of census, vital records, and naturalization records for many counties. Records of the Grand Army of the Republic , the Civil War Union veteran's society, are also included. The online collection has a statewide obituary search for newspapers held at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. They also have Searchable Surname Index of biographical sketches in county histories.[6]

The ALPLM also offers research assistance by appointment, collection guides, and interlibrary loans of printed material.
