Our geographic coverage includes McLean, Livingston, Ford and Woodford counties.

We are operated solely by volunteer help, and supported by membership dues and

research donations.  Our library is open to the general public for research. 

    Our purpose is to encourage genealogy, promote local history, and assist others in gathering genealogical and historical information.  The society is dedicated to the tasks of collecting, researching, and preserving local genealogical and historical information.
