CONGRATS-IL STATE ARCHIVES

This Senate resolution formally congratulates the Illinois State Archives and its Regional Archives Depository system on reaching their 50th anniversary. The bill recognizes the IRAD's role in preserving valuable local government records and providing public access to them through seven university-based locations. It highlights how the system employs trained student interns to offer safe storage and reference services to researchers, historians, and the general public. No policy changes are made; instead, the document serves as an official expression of appreciation from the Illinois Senate.
