Excerpt from State and Local Government in Illinois: A Bibliography This bibliography has been designed to aid those persons who desire knowledge of problems, achievements, and processes of state and local government in Illinois, other than that embodied in statutes, court decisions, and reports of administrative agencies. The emphasis is on materials dealing at length with specific issues of state-wide significance. Social, economic, and political histories and similar studies have been added as necessary background but kept to a short list of outstanding works. Studies pertaining to a single unit of local government have generally been omitted, although exceptions have been made particularly in the case of the several significant studies of Chicago government and problems. Materials for inclusion in this bibliography are largely restricted to information on the practice of government in Illinois under the Constitution of 1870 up to September 1953 and only a few items relating to the period before 1900 have been listed. Although there is justification for including materials even back to the territorial laws, available resources dictated a limitation to more current materials. A cross reference system in the table of contents has been de vised to aid the user of this bibliography in locating works that touch on one or more subject matters. This alternative subject list ing should be searched by those persons desirous of making an exhaustive study of a particular problem area.

Excerpt from Inventory of the County Archives of Illinois The Historical Records Survey was undertaken in the winter of 1935 36 for the purpose of providing useful employment to needy unemployed historians, lawyers, teachers, and research and clerical workers. In carrying out this objective, the project was organized to compile inven tories of historical materials, particularly the unpublished government documents and records which are basic in the administration of local government, and which provide invaluable data for students of political, economic, and social history. The archival guide herewith presented is intended to meet the requirements of day - to-day administration by the officials of the county, and also the needs of lawyers, business men, and other citizens who require facts from the public records for the preper conduct of their affairs. The volume is so designed that it can be used by the historian in his research in unprinted sources in the same way he uses the library card catalog for printed sources. The inventories produced by the Historical Records Survey Projects attempt to do more than give merely a list of records they attempt fur ther to sketch in the historical background of the county or other unit of government, and to describe precisely and in detail the organization and functions of the government agencies whose records they list. The county, town, and other local inventories for the entire country will, when completed, constitute an encyclopedia of local government as well as a bibliography of local archives.
