Digital Resource Connects to State Archives' Collections
The Digital Archives differs from Indiana Memory because it is record-based. It provides individual listings of vital records available in the State Archives' collections as opposed to Indiana memory, which is document/manuscript-based and provides a digital copy of original Indiana newspapers, historic documents and state publications, among others. The Digital Archives provides listings of commonly sought-after materials such as death, prison, military, and naturalization records. However, it also contains many rare indices like slave and adoption records, and registries such as negro and mulattos by county, the Indiana School for the Deaf, and the Soldiers and Sailors Children's home. Please visit www.digitalarchives.in.gov often as its online platform is continually updated with new indices and resources. If you or a patron cannot locate a desired record and believe it may be found at the State Archives, feel free to contact a collection specialist at (317) 591-5222 or arc@icpr.in.gov for assistance.
