Newton Bateman's Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois County is a series he wrote in which the first volume is a general encyclopedia
of Illinois and the second volume is devoted to the history of a specific Illinois county.
Bateman, a historian, was the superintendent of public instruction for the state of Illinois from 1859-1862 and president of
Knox College, Galesburg, from 1875-1893.
These were printed in various editions, primarily between 1900 and 1915.
In a few cases (e.g. Sangamon) the county portion
was published as two volumes (for a total of three volumes).
In some cases
(e.g. Fulton and McDonough counties) the two volumes were printed in one book, totalling 1,100 to 1,400 pages.

Cited number of pages is the equivalent of the numbered text pages.
Most books actually have 25-35% more physical pages, with photographs and illustrations.
A great source of photos and biographies of all the early personages after whom so many local landmarks and streets are named.
As a bonus, each county CD includes on Federal Census for either
1900, 1910, 1920, or 1930.
Some county census records are of poor quality and legibility, so only the better years will be selected for inclusion.
Another bonus is blank census pages for 1790-1930, for your use in recording details from your personal research.
These are government scanned copies of the original
handwritten census records.
Legibility varies, depending on handwriting of census taker, quality of ink used, paper damage
over the years, quality of the scanning process.
Different from transcribed census records, these contain all information collected by the census taker.
These also give a sense of relatives and neighbors living nearby.
Some of the files also include records for other
state counties.
An index for all included counties is added for your convenience
