Webinar: Introduction to the “Laws of Illinois” Web Site
The Laws of Illinois web site has been recognized by the Governor’s Office of the Illinois Bicentennial as an officially designated Project celebrating Illinois’s 200th birthday. The site was recognized as an important resource for Illinois history and genealogy.
Join Linda Zellmer, Western Illinois University, for a webinar on Monday, May 7, 2:00 PM CST, to learn more about the Laws of Illinois web site.
Laws of Illinois links to digitized volumes of the Laws of Illinois (to 1920), laws from 1971 to the Present available on the General Assembly website, Illinois Revised Statutes and territorial laws for the Northwest, Indiana and Illinois territories. It includes volumes from the WIU and Illinois State Libraries, other libraries, volumes in Google Books, and the Hathi Trust Digital Library. The text of most volumes is searchable. Indexes to the Laws of Illinois digitized by the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois State Library are also linked from the site. WIU volumes were digitized with funds from CARLI.
