The Illinois State
Historical Society was founded in 1899 to support the
Illinois State Historical Library and to encourage
research and writing on subjects of Illinois history.
Though independent of the State of Illinois and the
Historical Library since 1997, the Illinois State
Historical Society continues to actively promote the
study of Illinois history. The Society encourages
everyone from University scholars to local historians to
take an active part in Illinois history. The Society is
a not-for-profit organization which depends solely on
membership dues, gifts, bequests, and foundation grants
to support, preserve, and disseminate the story of
Illinois and its people. |
Our Mission
The mission of the Society is to
foster awareness, understanding, research, preservation,
and recognition of history in Illinois.
Operating Principles
As a not-for-profit organization
serving the whole state and dependent on the efforts and
the support of many, the Society asserts it will operate
on the following principles:
|
|
Excellence: |
We strive for the highest quality in our
products, services, and events.
We use our limited resources carefully and to the
greatest effect.
We provide opportunities for volunteer
activities at the state level.
We are interested in the variety of
Illinois groups, communities, regions, organizations,
eras, leaders and events.
We recognize that history in Illinois
is intrinsically related to regional, national, and
international history.
We take positions on current issues
only as they might relate to our mission, vision, and
goals. |
