The Dr. Jo Ann Rayfield Archives is the official repository for Illinois State University, and we house a wide variety of materials related to the University.

The University Archives collects, preserves and makes accessible these materials to support Milner Library and the ISU community's research and teaching goals.

Because of limited staffing, the University Archives is open by appointment only. Please call or email to schedule a visit. (309) 438-3546
