regions (i.e., Eastern Illinois) or one of 12 places (i.e., Springfield area). VIC
provides a report that shows owning libraries, call number, and the current status of the
item (i.e., In, Non-Circulating, etc.). The Illinois State
Archives (www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/

read through its genealogical research pamphlet series, learn about the Illinois Regional
Archives Depository system (IRAD), or search its on-line databases. The on-line database
includes Illinois Civil War soldiers and Illinois soldiers and sailors involved in other
