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.
