History of Indiana

To celebrate Indiana’s sesquicentennial in 1966, the Indiana Historical Society – in partnership with the Indiana Historical Bureau and with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc. – launched the History of Indiana series.

To celebrate Indiana’s Bicentennial, IHS is producing the series as ebooks. In the five volumes of this series, published between 1968 and 1998, historians present an in-depth look at Indiana from its territorial period through its role in World War II, discussing Indiana’s changing politics, economy and population, and the rise of its cities, educational system and social services network. Thoroughly documented using a wealth of primary sources, the History of Indiana series gives detailed perspectives on the people who developed the state and shows how events such as the Civil War and the Great Depression affected the lives of Hoosiers.
