Illinois County Histories at the Illinois State Library Raymond Collins, Sandra Fritz, David Johnson, Francie LaCamera and Blaine Redemer Preface The following bibliography is a compilation of over 500 Illinois county histories found at the Illinois State Library, with representation of all 102 counties of Illinois. Besides the traditional county-wide historical narratives, this list also contains any title at the State Library which has county wide historical significance. As an example, we decided to include a book on the early marriages of Richland County, as well as a directory of Stephenson County issued by Prairie Farmer in 1917. Designed to serve as a companion piece to Arlyn Sherwood Booth's A Checklist of Illinois State Library's Complete Holdings of Illinois County Land Ownership Maps and Atlases (available upon request from the Illinois State Library Reference Department), we chose not to include county atlases in this list. Nor were other titles in the State Library's collection included which addressed more narrow areas of local history. A typical entry will list the bibliographic information of a given title first, followed by the call number of the title. Please note that the Illinois State Library has a large number of the original Illinois county histories dating from the late 1800's and early 1900's and that the majority of these books have an in-library use only, non-circulating status. These non-circulating copies are marked with an asterisk(*). Only in those instances where the Illinois State Library has a second copy, can an original edition be checked out. Besides these original editions, the State Library also has reproductions of these histories, both in book and microfilm format. In this instance, the bibliographic entry is that of the original work, with the call numbers listed of the different versions of the work. Generally the call numbers of the original work, when present in the collection, are listed first, followed by the call numbers of the hardback reprints, followed by the micofilm holdings of the specific title. A special note should be made about the "Newton Bateman" histories. In the 1910's, historian Newton Bateman with the collaboration of various writers issued a series of Illinois county histories, each history being two volumes long. The first volume was always Newton Bateman's work, "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois," while the second volume was always the history of the specific county. It is this second volume of a Bateman title then, which should be consulted when a researcher is studying the history of a given county. Additionally, any "Newton Bateman" title owned by the State Library in reprint or microfilm form, is only the second volume. This bibliography evolved from an in-house list at the State Library produced several years ago, and is considerably expanded. For historical reference, we have included the date a given county was established, the origin of the county name, and a list of the towns which have served as the county seat. While the great years of local county histories and atlases were the years 1880-1920, history has become more and more a growing national hobby and Illinois seems to have entered a new spurt of county history publication once again. In 1989, Du Page County produced a sesquicentennial history and in 1993 author Carol Pirtle wrote a new history of Randolph County, appropriately titled Where Illinois Began. Sandra Fritz, Francie LaCamera, Blaine Redemer, David Johnson, and Raymond Collins of the Illinois State Library Reference Department served as the "Committee of Five" who produced this bibliography. Our thanks to Arlyn Sherwood Booth for her advice and valuable assistance and to the ISL Catalog * The bibliography was prepared by staff members in the Illinois State Library Reference Department: Raymond Collins, Sandra Fritz, David Johnson, Francie LaCamera and Blaine Redemer. 92 Department for helping with record updates.
