I tried two others and got to them earlier. http://www.state.il.us/hpa/lib/Microfilm.htm http://www.library.uiuc.edu/techserv/inp/mergeddatabase/search_form.asp I put in Madison and IL in this form and it said there were 105 titles. But, now I can't get to the sites. Maybe they are down or turned off after hours? Don't know at the moment.
