Why hasn t the genealogy collection been moved from 315 W. Ohio Street to the new IHS headquarters?

There is very simple reason: this collection does not belong to the Indiana Historical Society. The Indiana State Library established this collection many years ago, so it will remain there. In the past, there has been a common misconception that the Indiana Historical Society and the Indiana State Library were one and the same, perhaps because both were under the same roof, along with the Indiana Historical Bureau and the Indiana State Archives. Many tenants and one building made for much confusion to the general public. The Indiana Historical Society is a private, not-for-profit membership organization and is not affiliated with state government agencies.
