Since the founding of Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana in 1960, photographic images have played a key role in the organization's promotion of historic preservation. Nothing provides more oohs and ahhs or inspiration than a set of dramatic before-and-after images. These images have formed the basis for educational programs and illustrated the foundation's magazine, the Indiana Preservationist, for decades. A Library Services Technology Grant allowed IUPUI to begin digitization of Historic Landmarks' slide collection, now making it available to the public. The collection contains images from the early 1960s through present day and captures historic architecture throughout the state. Educators will find the collection useful in documenting architectural styles and Indiana history. Old house enthusiasts will find ideas for paint colors, restoration techniques, and inspiration. The visual image collection of Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana is only one component of the organization's library and information center. For more information on the library, click here.
