Indiana State Archives Open on Saturday, July 27

The Indiana State Archives will be open on Saturday, July 27 from 10:00am - 4:00pm.

From S. Chandler Lighty, Executive Director:

The Indiana State Archives will be open on Saturday, July 27 from 10-4.
We’re opening that day for a small group, but we wanted to extend the opportunity to other researchers who might take advantage of a Saturday research day at the Archives. We’re using this opportunity, and probably a few other dates later in the fall, to gauge whether or not folks will take advantage of Saturday research hours. 

 If you want Saturday hours at the State Archives, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity!

The Archive is located at 6440 E. 30th St., Indianapolis, IN 46219.

Any Hoosier Ancestors Attend A School Like This?

Indiana used to have hundreds of small one- and two-room schoolhouses, very much like the Morris School in Tippecanoe County. If you have never seen one and/or you would like to help preserve one, check out this project in West Lafayette. Picture your great-grandparents here...
