Module 2: How to Find Primary Sources in the UIUC Archives
|
As we have seen, the University Archives maintains a broad range of
records related to the University of Illinois’s history. But there are many other archives available to students or researchers in the Champaign-Urbana area. In fact, your research interests may require you to expand your archival research to areas off campus. In this instance, the Urbana Free Library might be your next stop.
As a department within the Urbana Free Library, the Champaign County Historical Archives has many records relating to the history of Champaign County, and to a lesser extent the rest of Illinois and other states east of the Mississippi. Access to its collections is free and open to the general public.
