Listen "State Archives: what’s there and new plans"
Episode Synopsis
You can find everything from the original Indiana State Constitution drafted in 1816 to casino applications for Donald Trump and a poster that cult TV personality Sammy Terry autographed to then-Gov. Ed Whitcomb more than 45 years ago. For more than 20 years, the Indiana Archives have been housed in a warehouse on the eastside of Indianapolis that's long been described as inadequate. Earlier this year, state leaders announced a site for a new, $35 million building downtown for the archives. So Hoosier History Live will follow up a show from seven years ago, when officials were hoping that a new home for the archives collection of historical records would be built as part of the 2016 celebrations of Indiana's bicentennial. The project never happened then, but now that a new state archives building finally is about to become a reality (construction is set to begin in spring 2023), we will revisit the topic to spotlight the details.
