~about the Repository~

The U.S. Data Repository has been established by the 
United States Genealogy Network (USGenNet),Inc., to 
provide for long term secure storage of digital and 
transcribed records that are relevant to historical 
and genealogical research. These records have been 
donated for permanent online free-access.

While these records are provided with free access for 
everyone to use there are costs involved to make this
possible. Every penny received is spent of operating 
expenses and equipment.  USGenNet is staffed entirely 
by volunteers and pays no wages or salaries.  If you 
have found information on these pages that helps you 
in your research please consider making a tax deductible 
donation of any size to the United States Genealogy 
Network, Inc.,(USGenNet, Inc.)


If you have records that you would like to contribute to
the Illinois Data Repository pages, please contact the
Illinois Archivist for details on how to do this.
