Indiana Historical Society

Since 1830, the Indiana Historical society has been Indiana's storyteller, connecting people to the past by collecting, preserving and sharing the state's history. A private, nonprofit membership organization, IHS maintains the nation's premier research library and archives on the history of Indiana and the old northwest and presents a unique set of visitor experiences called the Indiana experience. IHS also provides support and assistance to local museums and Historical groups; publishes books and periodicals; sponsors teacher workshops; produces and hosts art exhibitions, museum theater and outside performance groups; and provides youth, adult and family programs. IHS is a smithsonian affiliate and a member of the international coalition of sites of conscience.
