Indiana Digital Archives

The Indiana State Archives is thrilled to announce our new online Digital Archive.

This invaluable new resource is the result of a cooperative partnership made possible by a grant from the Library of Congress and administered by the Washington State Archives. Other partners include the states of Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, and Oregon.

Volunteers from the Friends of the Indiana State Archives have been processing and indexing records for more than fifteen years. Their hard work and dedication has had a positive impact on archivists and researchers who utilize Indiana's archival resources. Using the databases within the Archives meant that archivists could instantly locate records for patrons instead of spending hours plowing through old volumes of often un-indexed records.

Despite budget constraints, archivists have been raising awareness of the collections through public presentations, exhibits, and publications. Now the new online Digital Archive is available to anyone with access to the Internet. Patrons can search the indexes and order records via email online.
