The UIS Archives and Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD) are currently open, we are available for appointments at this time.

Appointments must be made 24 hours in advance (or longer). Due to Secretary of State rules, IRAD interns cannot return email for records or information. They must receive a mailed request, a phone call, or a voicemail containing your name, mailing address, and the criteria for your record search in order to help you. If you reach an intern via a method other than telephone, they will reach back out to you via mail. Our mailing address is: UIS Archives/ IRAD One University Plaza Springfield, Illinois 62703.
