  • Dillinger! Forging a Hoosier Legend
The Indiana State Archives is presenting Dillinger! Forging a Hoosier Legend, an exhibit featuring documents from several of our state agency collections. The exhibit will run from July 15, 2009 through December 31, 2009 at the Indiana State Library. Using documents from the Department of Correction, the Governor's papers, the Secretary of State, and the Indiana Attorney General, the life and main events of John Dillinger and his gang members are examined. For more information please visit the exhibit's home page at http://www.dillingerlegend.org and for a detailed schedule of activities at the State Library visit http://www.in.gov/library/dillinger.htm.
  • Governor Morton Telegrams

    Digital Images of the Governor Morton Telegrams are now available free of charge through the Digital Collections of IUPUI University Library.

  • Early Supreme Court Database

    The Indiana Supreme Court has generously partnered with the Indiana State Archives in sponsorship of a new database of Indiana Supreme Court cases.

    The cases begin with the first session in 1817 following Indiana’s entrance into the Union on December 11, 1816. Territorial Cases will soon be added. Researchers will notice some overlapping of court proceedings between the territorial period and statehood. These historic cases involve freedom suits, Native American land claims, railroads, numerous criminal appeals, and legal disputes.

    The Staff of the Commission on Public Records, particularly the Indiana State Archives, would like to express extreme gratitude to Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard, Dr. Elizabeth Osborn, Ph.D., the projects’ manager Lindsey Borschel, Web Coordinator, and the database’s designer George Wen, System Analyst for making this endeavor a reality. Generations of legal, historical and genealogical researchers will appreciate their efforts for decades to come.
