The Indiana State Archives will be moving temporarily to 6400 E. 30th Street in Indianapolis in late September or early October. According to the Indiana Commission on Public Records (ICPR) site:

“Full service to patrons should only be interrupted for a few days at the end of the move. We will try to maintain our reputation for first-class service, but there may be slight delays in the delivery of research material during the move. Our e-mail contact, which accounts for more than 20 percent of our requests, will remain in operation for the duration of the move.”

“The new location, about seven miles northeast of the present downtown location, will have free parking, room for more patrons, and will allow the removal of all our records out of the basement. The temporary move is necessary to make room for a $16 million renovation of the Indiana State Library building.”

If you are planning a trip to the State Archives for research, it is advised that you call or contact the archives via e-mail to confirm the new location and new hours of operation. The phone number is (317) 232-3660 and e-mail is arc@icpr.state.in.us.

Updates will be posted to the ICPR page periodically.
