Interlibrary Loan Policies and Procedures
Since the Archives collection is not comprehensive, the time will come when you will need to look at material that is located elsewhere. You can determine what is available by consulting a number of bibliographies or other compilations of specific materials. The Archives reference staff can assist you in finding and using these resources. In some cases, books, censuses, newspapers and other microfilms or photocopies may be obtained through interlibrary loan. Interlibrary loan request within the state of Illinois are free of charge. There is a $5.00 patron charge per Inter-library loan request for out-of-state material which helps pay a portion of the charges lending libraries make to the archives. Interlibrary loan request forms are located at the Archives reference desk.
For the convenience of patrons the Archives sells a variety of genealogical forms at cost. These include census extract sheets, family group sheets, and ancestor charts. Also for sale are a number of reference works relating to Champaign County history and genealogy. Copies of these materials are on display in the Archives.
