Books and Publications

The stories of Indiana’s past come to life for children and adults, students and scholars through the Indiana Historical Society’s books, magazines and new media publications.

	IHS Press Books With more than a century of experience, the Indiana Historical Society Press publishes books – from academic tomes, such as the History of Indiana series, to beautiful coffee-table books, such as Skirting the Issue: Stories of Indiana’s Historical Women Artists. The Press also publishes historical fiction for children, youth biographies and family history books.
	Magazines IHS members can receive two award-winning periodicals. Traces of Indiana and Midwestern History is a quarterly, popular history magazine. The Hoosier Genealogist: Connections is a biannual family history journal. Companion articles for Connections, consisting of indexes to rare source material, are published twice yearly in Online Connections.
	Music, Microfilm and Media IHS has captured the voices of Indiana musicians and storytellers and the words of some of its most prominent citizens through its diverse publishing program. Hear Cole Porter on CD, read William Henry Harrison’s letters on microfilm, watch stories about Abe Lincoln on DVD, read about Indiana’s railroad history online and much more.
	Author Guidelines The Indiana Historical Society Press accepts material for its books and magazines. We consider manuscripts on a wide range of topics dealing with Indiana and Midwestern history for publication each year, including books for adults, children – including historical fiction – and family history.
