Central Illinois holds vast and unique resources for genealogy and local history research. Not all such materials are online, of course. But getting started with digital collections and other online resources can help better prepare you for an in-person research visit to libraries, museums and archives. This program provides insight on how family research collides with local history to provide a personal collection to our community’s past. Join Sangamon Experience Director and Curator, Anne Moseley, and UIS student and graduate assistant for the Office of Engaged Learning, Anna Kanai, as they discuss how family research has impacted their research.
