	Illinois State Historical Advisory Board - Consultant's Report
		Three major problems facing historical records repositories are a lack of planning or a vision of future development, a lack of financial resources to meet the requirements of an archival program, and patchwork programs resulting from short term grants and limited continuing education opportunities.
		The diversity and shifting responsibilities of historical records agencies may also preclude the adoption of uniform standards that are applicable to all types and sizes of public and private institutions.
		Large historical records repositories in academic institutions and the Chicago area should not compete in the same grant pool with repositories that do not have a full-time staff for the historical records program.
