The Stephanie Smith and Steve Mark Collection primarily contains photographs taken by Stephen Mark, grandson of industrial magnate Clayton Mark, held by the Calumet Regional Archives at Indiana University Northwest. The photographs were taken in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland region and include those of residents instrumental in preserving tracts of land that received national park status in 2019 (Indiana Dunes National Park)[1]. They also include photographs of President Harry S. Truman, Indiana Representative Charles Halleck [2], and Naomi Svihla [3], as well as images of the daily life and social gatherings of the communities (Ogden Dunes [4] , Portage, Gary, Chicago, Chesterton, Valparaiso, East Chicago, and Marktown).

Explore the historic photograph collections of the former Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology (now part of the IU Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology). Images document archaeological field work throughout Indiana and the greater region as the discipline developed over the course of the 20th century. They depict notable figures such as Glenn Black and Eli Lilly, along with WPA era excavations at Angel Mounds and decades of IU sponsored field schools. Although the IUMAA houses close to 30,000 photographic prints, slides, and negatives, only a small portion have been digitized and made public. Images of a sensitive nature or subject to NAGPRA regulations are not published and require special access approval. Please contact IUMAA@iu.edu for more information.

The bulk of Indiana University’s Russian Military Topographic Map Collection is made up of the Soviet Red Army topographic maps, which were produced for defense and economic planning. This collection came to Indiana University from the duplicate map room of the Library of Congress Map Collection in the early 1990s. These maps cover not only parts of Russia and Eastern Europe, but extend as far north as Scandinavia, as far west as Germany and the Netherlands, and as far south as Iran.

Indiana Historic Maps provides images of a small portion of maps that focus on Indiana. The majority of this collection focuses on maps produced prior to 1923 unless known to be in the public domain as state or federal documents. In addition, Indiana University Bloomington holds an outstanding collection of print maps by and about geographic areas covering the state of Indiana. Most well known of these are the Sanborn Fire Insurance maps which have been digitized through 1923 and now available at: https://libraries.indiana.edu/union-list-sanborn-maps. In addition we own many maps produced by Indiana State government agencies including state and county highway maps, IGS geologic maps and DNR park maps; U.S. Federal agencies such as the USGS topographic maps, Congressional survey maps and AMS maps from the 1940s; as well as privately produced maps for the state but also cities and counties.
This collection is comprised of 20 maps produced as part of Alfred C. Kinsey’s gall wasp research, which culminated in the volume entitled The gall wasp genus Cynips: a study in the origin of species (https://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/932965). Kinsey’s gall wasp research predates the work on human sexuality for which he is more widely known. The maps were created during a span of twenty years, between approximately 1917 and 1937. Eighteen of the collection items are United States Geological Survey base maps onto which hand-annotated species data was added. Of particular interest to researchers may be the two remaining hand-drawn maps (Untitled I; First Expedition, 1931-32, Indiana University Second Mexican and Biological Expedition, 1935-36) which document Kinsey’s research travel routes. The original, physical copies of this set of 20 maps are housed at the Herman B Wells Library, Indiana University, Bloomington.
