As Indiana’s Storyteller™: Connecting People to the Past, our charge is to collect, preserve and share stories that reflect our state’s rich heritage including stories of real people just like you. We invite you to financially support us in this endeavor. Whether touching hundreds of thousands online, or connecting one individual to one story of Indiana’s past, we embrace the opportunities our mission presents.
Your contribution helps power our far-reaching impact. As a private, not-for-profit organization, we rely on the people who value Indiana’s history for their financial help.

Your membership in IHS helps support such activities as the William H. Smith Memorial Library and its significant collection of rare books, manuscripts and photographs; the Indiana Junior Historical Society, reaching students and teachers throughout Indiana; numerous research grants and fellowships; and services for local historical organizations across the state.
