Indiana Memory Project

Indiana Memory is a web site created by the Indiana State Library to bring together original source documents of the history of Indiana. Beginning in 2007, Charlestown-Clark County Public Library began digitizing a collection of World War II letters in order to make them accessible to more people by providing images on the internet. Those letters can be seen on Indiana Memory at Jesse G. Dorsey WWII Correspondence.

Currently, we are working on digitizing a wide range of items that the library owns. There are hundreds of items of Clark County history which include Civil War letter, store ledgers from the 1800s, judge docket ledgers from 1890-1920s, Korean War letters, hotel ledgers, photographs, and much more. As work on these items is completed, they will be added to Indiana Memory web site. There are over a hundred items at Clark County Collection for viewing on the Indiana Memory web site. A list of these items can be seen on the Local History page of this web site.

Charlestown-Clark County Public Library is continually interested in collecting original source documents that tell the history of Clark County, Indiana.
