UIS Archives Holdings Database powered by Archon Archives/Special Collections contributes to the public affairs 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 to the public 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 curriculum. As a member of the Illinois Regional Archives Depository System (IRAD), administered by the Illinois Secretary of State/Illinois State Archives, UIS Archives/Special Collections serves as one of seven depositories in the state for local government records. Special Collections includes non-circulating library material such as rare, valuable and fragile books and periodicals.
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. Collections do not circulate, with the exception of Oral History memoirs. 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).
