TRANSCRIPT
The Illinois State Archives is pleased to announce that ajoint Archives/Illinois State Genealogical Society (ISGS)project to create an online database for PhysiciansRegisters is up and running. The new genealogicalresource site can be found on the State Archives web-site under “Databases” or by going directly to:https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases/physearch.html.
The Illinois State Archives’ Physicians Database is anindex containing the names of more than 62,700 physicians and surgeons who registered for licensurewith the Illinois State Board of Health and the IllinoisDepartment of Professional Regulation. The dates of
the database span from 1877 to 1937.
The types of information one can find on the databaseinclude: physicians’ names, certificate number, year oflicense, and residence and location of practice.Physician names can be searched by last name and alsoby first name, as long as the first two letters of the lastname are also entered.
Thanks to the hard work of the Department ofInformation Technology of the Illinois Secretary ofState’s office, each name on the database is directlylinked to the scanned image found in the register. Thismeans that researchers can look directly at the record.
