Indiana University Northwest Archives and Special Collections

The IUN Archives and Special Collections include two main collecting bodies: The Calumet Regional Archives (regional history) and University Records (campus history). Founded in 1973, the Calumet Regional Archives collects and preserves records relating to the Calumet region of Indiana including Lake and Porter Counties. It includes over 500 collections. In addition, the campus archive documents the history of IU Northwest, including materials related to faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Both archival collections are housed in the John W. Anderson Library and serve as a unique community resource documenting and preserving the history of IU Northwest, the City of Gary, and the Calumet region.
