Skokie Historical Society is a volunteer organization dedicated to collecting information and artifacts pertaining to Niles Center, Skokie and Niles Township, Illinois. The current Society was formed in 1982 and received the collection of one of its early predecessors. Its collection includes manuscripts, published works, periodicals, oral histories, genealogies, photographs and artifacts. The collection is available to the general public for examination and research. For larger projects, an appointment is necessary so that information can be retrieved. Society volunteers are available to respond to questions but do not conduct the research. All research must be conducted by the interested party.

The Society is located at the Historic Engine House and Log Cabin which is owned and operated by the Skokie Park District. The Society and Park District collaborate in offering educational programs and exhibits based on the Society's extensive collection.
