The Dr. Jo Ann Rayfield Archives at Illinois State University is the official repository for selected materials that document the history of the university and all aspects of university life. The University Archives collects, preserves, and makes accessible these materials to support Milner Library and the ISU community’s research and teaching goals.
The University Archives was recognized in 1970 as the official repository of University records that have enduring value. In 2010 it was renamed to honor former archivist Dr. Jo Ann Rayfield for her years of service to Illinois State University.
