Madison Historical: The Online Encyclopedia and Digital Archive for Madison County, Illinois

Madison Historical is an online home for the history of Madison County, Illinois. The project was launched as a collaboration between Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s History Department and the Madison County Regional Superintendent’s Office (then held by Robert Daiber). The project was launched in 2016 and continues to the present. Madison Historical team members have archived oral histories, digitized and published personal manuscript collections, and written numerous encyclopedia articles on county history.
