The Edgar County Genealogy Library (ECGL) is home to an extensive collection of materials about genealogy and history of Edgar County, Illinois. Located in the Edgar County Historical Complex annex, it is an offspring of both the Edgar County Historical and Genealogical Societies. The Library is staffed by Genealogical Society volunteers to assist with your research. A. Joyce Brown and Linda Cary are co-directors.

Our collection includes Staunton newspapers on microfilm, census records, county histories, cemetery records, family histories, church records, etc. The Society will accept donations of any genealogical books and materials. These books and family data are placed in our Genealogy Room. The Macoupin County Genealogical Society does not have an office or building. Our materials are housed in the George and Santina Sawyer Genealogy Room at the Staunton Public Library, 306 West Main St, Staunton, IL 62088.
