The purpose of the archives is to preserve and make available records concerning Indiana's historic sites and structures and the careers of Hoosier practitioners of environmental design and planning. The archives houses about 50,000 drawings and renderings from professional offices throughout the state. Some of the practitioner collections include specifications, photographs, and business records too. The archives also maintains biographical files, data files on individual properties and historic districts, a postcard collection, a collection of trade catalogs, a library of reference material formerly used in professional practice, and a collection of measured drawings done by students for the Historic American Buildings Survey and the Historic American Engineering Record.
Inquiries are welcome, and selective copying is permitted.
The archives is located in the Architecture Building Room 120. Hours vary each semester, so its best to call ahead for an appointment. Links contained in this file to information provided by other organizations are presented as a service and neither constitute nor imply endorsement or warranty.
