This guide has been developed to provide links to resources that might be useful in research about a particular park or natural area. It provides links to general indexes as well as maps and other resources that can be used to learn about the history, environment and social environment of parks, especially parks in Illinois.

The following indexes can be used to help find general information:

WestCat - the online catalog for the Western Illinois University Libraries.

I-Share - the online catalog of over 70 academic and research libraries in Illinois.

America's Newspapers - an index to newspapers in the United States. Some articles may be available online.
