This Directory 1 Lincoln Trails Community Organization Directory Edited and Formatted by Noah Lenstra, July 2010 Introduction: This directory was created and maintained by member libraries of the Lincoln Trails Library System—especially Champaign Public Library, Marshall Public Library and Charleston Public Library – between the late 1990s and early 2000s. Its purpose was to help reference staff and patrons find up-to-date information on community organizations in the communities in which the libraries were located. As the local CyberInfrastructure was developed, and similar databases and directories were supported by, among others, the Champaign County Mental Health Center, the need for this database waned and staff time allocated to maintaining the database shifted elsewhere. The present volume preserves a snap-shot of the database as of Fall 2009 – and includes not only entries for community organizations at that time period, but also entries for various community organizations that have existed in East-Central Illinois between approximately 1995 and 2010. Although it is not comprehensive, it can serve as a valuable tool to discover the history of community organization, not-for-profits and social service agencies. Organization: The directory is organized in alphabetical order by the first letter of the organization. In many cases organizations have various alternate names, meaning that redundant entries appear in this directory. Thus “American Red Cross - Illini Prairie Chapter” is found both in the “A’s” section and in the “R’s” section under “Red Cross.” A full-text searchable version of this directory is maintained on the Champaign County Historical Archives’ server for additional access points. Structure of entries: Not all entries are complete. For the most complete entries there will be lines for, in this order, “Name,” “Alternative Names,” “Description,” “Address,” “Phone,” “Mailing Address,” “Hours,” “Contact,” “Subjects,” “Services Available,” “Affiliation,” “Eligibility,” and “URL.” Name Amateur Radio Emergency Services of Champaign County, Illinois Alternative Names ARES of Champaign County, Illinois Description Provides emergency communication to communities in Champaign County. ARES is a volunteer radio communications service organized to provide reliable primary or secondary communications links for government agencies and non-profit organizations during emergencies or public service events.

    reservation Spring 2016 P matters Volume 36 Number 1 preservation and conservation association Focus on Forgotten University of Illinois Buildings The University of Illinois is home to a significant number of buildings that are over one hundred years old. Many are well known and are located on the Main Quadrangle including Harker Hall (1878), Natural History Building (1892), Altgeld Hall (1897), Foellinger Auditorium (1907) and Lincoln Hall (1909). Other buildings, including Kinney Gym (1890), the Observa- tory (1895), Forestry Science Building (1905), Stock Pavilion (1913), Ceramic Engineering (1915) and the Vivarium (1916) are often overlooked.
