Due to cuts to the Indiana State Library budget, as of August 1, access to several databases made available through the INSPIRE program will be significantly altered or unavailable as we seek access through alternative avenues.

Indiana University Northwest Archives is home to a large collection of rare and one-of-a-kind materials documenting the history of the Calumet Region, so we ask our researchers to observe certain rules and handle items with care to help preserve these collections for future generations.

We recognize that not everyone has the time or resources to visit our Reading Room in person. Thus, we currently offer limited remote research services for those working from a distance. These services include:
*With clear direction from patrons, staff can conduct focused research within our holdings for up to one hour. This may include tasks such as locating materials within a designated collection, identifying documents related to a particular subject or date, finding photographs within a given box, or completing other specific focused research requests. Because archival research can be time-consuming and complex, we cannot guarantee that the requested information will be found within the allotted time. In such cases, we may encourage you to plan an in-person visit or hire a proxy researcher for further assistance.
