Purpose
The Illinois State Genealogical Society (ISGS) was formed in 1968 through the cooperative effort and forward thinking of Illinois genealogical society representatives, who envisioned a statewide genealogical organization. ISGS is a not-for-profit, nonsectarian, educational organization.
ISGS was established for the following purposes:
-
To stimulate an interest in the people who contributed to the establishment and development of the State of Illinois.
-
To seek, preserve, and make available data pertaining to individuals, families, and groups who lived in Illinois and to events which took place therein.
-
To inform people of the value of, and need for, preserving family and local history for posterity.
-
To encourage the formation of local genealogical societies and to coordinate and disseminate information.
