Many collections in the IU Libraries are gold mines for genealogists. Government Information, Microforms, and Statistical Services, for example, has individual records from the U.S. Census (to 1930) and selected Indiana newspapers on microfilm. You can find regimental histories and roster lists of Civil War soldiers in the Main Library and information-rich state bar journals in the Law Library. 

Additionally, Heritage Quest Online helps you to find ancestors and relatives in more than 25,000 family and local histories and in the fully searchable set of U.S. Federal Census records from 1790 to 1930.
