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. |
| Efficiency: |
We
use our limited resources carefully and to the greatest
effect. |
|
Participation: |
We
provide opportunities for volunteer activities at the
state level. |
|
Diversity: |
We
are interested in the variety of Illinois groups,
communities, regions, organizations, eras, leaders and
events. |
|
Broad Scope: |
We
recognize that history in Illinois is intrinsically
related to regional, national, and international
history. |
|
Non-partisan: |
We
take positions on current issues only as they might
relate to our mission, vision, and goals. |
