NOTES:
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
This is a large collection of pictures that were acquired from many different sources by the
Indiana Historical Society as either individual items or small batches of items that did not
necessarily warrant being designated as collections of their own. These are images of a
wide range of subjects including artifacts, events, people, city scenes, and landscapes from
all over Indiana.
The images in this collection are photographs, including some photographs of artifacts,
drawings, engravings, and paintings. One of the earliest original photographs included is a
group portrait at the dedication of Spencer Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church in Clinton
County in 1867. There are later photographs of some earlier images, such as the portraits
of William Maclure, who lived from 1763–1840. There are also modern photographs of
older items such as a patterned cloth woven in 1840 and an 1841 certificate.
The collection is arranged in seven series: 1) Counties, 2) General Subjects, 3) Indiana
Subjects, 4) People (Alphabetical by Name), 5) People (Alphabetical by Groups and
Subjects), 6) People (By Counties), and 7) People in Unknown Locations. Some related
items may be in more than one series. Generally, pictures of people will be in series 4, 5,
6, or 7, but people may appear in some images in the first three series also.
Series 1, Counties: This series is arranged alphabetically by county name. It consists of
images of a wide variety of scenes including aerial views, bridges, buildings (barns,
businesses, churches, courthouses, hospitals, hotels, houses, museums, schools,
synagogues, etc.), cemeteries, dunes, farms, lighthouses, mills, monuments, parades, parks,
railroad depots and tracks, rivers, special events, street scenes, vehicles, and more.
Series 2, General Subjects: This series includes images that may or may not be from
Indiana. The pictures are arranged alphabetically by general subject headings such as
airports, Andersonville, arts and crafts, automobiles, Civil War, costume, forts, frontier and
pioneer life, graffiti, mills, railroads, steamboats, water, and Wayne (Anthony Wayne’s
birthplace).
Series 3, Indiana Subjects: This series consists of images known or believed to be from
Indiana. The photographs are arranged alphabetically by general subject headings
including airplanes, airports, arts and crafts, automobiles, bank notes, barns, boats, books
(Booth Tarkington), buses, businesses, canals, capitols, churches, covered bridges,
furniture, geology, log cabins, luggage, machinery, medals and ribbons (Civil War), mills,
monuments, political campaigns, politics, power plants, radio stations, railroads and
streetcars, residences, restaurants, roads (including toll houses), state sesquicentennial,
territorial seal, trees, trucks, and water.
Series 4, People (Alphabetical by Name): This series is comprised of portraits and other
less formal photographs of people, and is arranged alphabetically by last name.
Series 5, People (Alphabetical by Groups and Subjects): This series consists of
photographs of people in various categories, which are arranged alphabetically by general
subject headings including airplanes, authors, bands, billiard/pool players, businesses,
camping, church and synagogue leaders, Civil War, Civil War treason trials, clubs, colleges
and universities, dentists, entertainment celebrities, German culture, golfers, government
officials, hospitals, Indian pow-wow, Indiana state fair, judges, Ku Klux Klan, lynch mobs,
military (including American Legion and Grand Army of the Republic), minstrel shows,
musicians, nurses, organizations, politicians, race car drivers, railroad, school children,
schools (including bands and sports teams), non-school sports teams (baseball, football,
and ice hockey), and women’s groups.
Series 6, People (By Counties): This series includes pictures of groups of people who
may or may not be identified, but were known to be in a certain county. There are also
images of unidentified individuals known to be in a certain county.
Series 7, People in Unknown Locations: This series consists of photographs of groups of
identified people in unknown locations, as well as unidentified people in unknown
locations.
To search the collection guide online, click the Control key (“Ctrl”) and the “F” key. Enter
a name, word, or phrase in the box that appears, then click on “Find Next.” You can
continue to click on “Find Next” to view all the listings of the name or phrase that appear
in the collection guide. Try searching separately for various related terms, such as “train”
and “railroad” to find as many items as possible that might be what you are seeking.
When searching for a person’s name, it may be best to search for last name only, because
someone might be listed with initials or with a variation of a first name. For example, a
search for “Bill Mansfield” would not lead to “William Lutz Mansfield;” a search for
“Mildred Snobarger” would prevent finding “Millie Frances Bartholomew Snobarger;” and
a search for “James Tillett” would leave “James and Jessie Tillett” undiscovered. In some
cases the last name was illegible, as in the case of Jacob “Mutz” or “Mertz.” If a surname
is commonly misspelled, search for every probable spelling. In some cases, only last
names were listed, without any first names or initials.
