Society Spotlight
The Indiana Genealogical Society was formed in 1989 to foster an interest in all people who contributed to the establishment and perpetuation of the state of Indiana, particularly early settlers. We strive to help preserve and publish materials relating to the people who settled this state.
Our current projects include a Records Preservation Project in Hendricks County, where we are preserving and digitizing Hendricks County probate records that date back to the county's founding in the early 1800's.
We are also supporting the efforts to digitize War of 1812 pension files and put them online for free access by sponsoring a $10,000 Match Challenge, where we are MATCHING any donation made, up to $10,000. Ancestry.com recently announced it will also match ALL donations, meaning that any donation you make to the $10,000 Match Challenge will actually be QUADRUPLED!
Since 2008, the Indiana Genealogical Society has been making Indiana’s historical records more accessible to the public by putting them online. We have more than 500,000 records.
Members of the Indiana Genealogical Society receive access to our growing collection of databases. We currently have 628 databases, representing all 92 Indiana counties. We add more databases all the time.
Members of the Indiana Genealogical Society also receive electronic delivery of our publications, IGS Newsletter and Indiana Genealogist. IGS Newsletter contains news items from across the state. Indiana Genealogist contains record abstracts and helpful articles relating to Indiana genealogy research.
