						... This collection was built and indexed by Bill Minch, 
						originally from the Emden area. Bill now lives in Texas. 
						He worked on the project by getting microfilm from the 
						Lincoln Presidential Library at Springfield, IL, through 
						interlibrary loan. He had to stop when the ALPL stopped 
						participating in the Library loan service. In the index 
						you will find that Bill has columns for Date of Issue, 
						Name of Deceased, Date of Death, and Parents & Spouse, 
						if the information is available in the obituary.

					this is an every-name index for the existing issues. The 
					newspapers referenced in this index are not digitized. The 
					researcher will need to contact LCGHS to have a volunteer 
					access the microfilm. The index has been constructed to 
					include the name of the person, issue date, page number, 
					column number,  & article title. 
					This, we hope, will speed up the process to find what you 
					are looking for.

				Collection digitized with Index:  
				
				The Regan Collection is a set of 36 
				binders of newspaper clippings covering the years 1859 to about 
				1912. It was compiled by John Regan, a retired attorney from 
				Decatur, IL. This portion of his collection covers many of the 
				Logan County Newspapers. It contains a wealth of information. 
				Mr. Regan passed away in 2020 at the age of 109. This collection 
				was digitized &  indexed by Bill Donath, volunteer 
				for the Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society. This 
				collection has two levels of index. There is an index showing 
				which volumes in which a given name is referenced. Once that is 
				determined, opening the proper volume leads to an index that 
				gives the page numbers on which a given name occurs. Some of the 
				volumes have as many as 500 pages.

				 Shew Collection: 
				
				In 2017, nearly eight 
				hundred issues of the Lincoln Herald from 1873-1882, 1884, 1889, 
				1894, 1895, were found in the attic of a building that was once 
				their 
				jewelry store. The Shew family was gracious enough to donate the 
				papers to LCGHS. That started a five-year journey to humidify, 
				sanitize, flatten, clean, digitize & index the papers. This 
				project will be complete by the fifth anniversary of the 
				donation in November 2022. Many of the stories found in the 
				Societys quarterly, Roots & 
				Branches, are coming from this 
				collection. The most recent being the series of articles telling 
				the story of the history & development of the Union Cemetery at 
				Lincoln, IL, - in the Spring Issue of 2022.   
				A comprehensive
				index
				is provided for each 
				year.  These indexes are provided on 
				a free-access page (go
