Temporary Building Closure
Due to construction on the Margaret Cross Norton Building, the Illinois State Archives Reference Room will be closed to the public from March 1 to June 1. According to the Archives' website, records requests may still be submitted via phone, mail, email and through the Archives' website. Response times for fulfilling requests may be longer than normal.
While the ISGS Office is now open, due to this construction there may continue to be delays in fulfillment of services such as death certificate look-ups and publication orders.
