Established in 1918 by Frederic Siedenburg, S.J., at the School of Sociology, Loyola University. Supported financially and physically by Loyola, the goal of the society was to study and survey the Catholic history of Illinois; collect historical works, documents, records, relics, and mementoes; create a Catholic library and museum; and disseminate knowledge of Catholic history through lectures and publications. The society published a quarterly journal, the Illilnois Catholic Historical Review, from 1918 to 1929, with the name changing to Mid-America in 1930. In 1933 the society participated in the Century of Progress World's Fair with an exhibit of Marquette's cabin. In 1934 control of the the journal Mid-America was transferred to Loyola University and the Illinois Catholic Historical Society disbanded.
