Welcome

Seal of the State of Illinois

Our mission, from our founding in 1907, has been the promotion of scientific research, the diffusion of scientific knowledge, and the unification of scientific interests in Illinois. Beginning in 1907, we have held our annual meeting at varying locations around the state every year since. In addition, our refereed journal, Transactions, has been published continuously since its inaugural first volume in 1908. Learn more.

Incorporated in our principles is a strong commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion.

We Are an Open Access Refereed Journal

At the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Board decided to provide open access to all Transactions articles to the general public in support of free dissemination of research. Transactions remain a refereed journal!

At the 2019 Annual Meeting, Publication fees for members were reduced to $40/page!
