Unless you fly in, you will travel through Indiana on your way to or
from the 2013 FGS conference in Fort Wayne. Indiana is the only state I
know of with two high-quality general genealogy magazines, and, as this
suggests, the state is also full of local societies and libraries with
valuable holdings. Here's a sampling, and we could run several lists
like this without running out.
Willard Library
21 First Avenue, Evansville
Tri-state resources for Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky, plus an alleged ghost . . .
http://www.willard.lib.in.us/
Friends Collection and Earlham College Archives
Richmond
Extensive manuscript collections and genealogies for Quaker families and meetings.
http://library.earlham.edu/ecarchives or investigate the Willard Heiss Collection list on line.
This is one of several colleges and universities with relevant genealogy material.
Porter County Public Library
This might be the best genealogy library in northern Indiana if Fort Wayne weren't there too! Good periodical selection.
103 Jefferson Street, Valparaiso
http://www.pcpls.lib.in.us/genealogy.html
Marshall County Historical Society
123 North Michigan, Plymouth
A half-block of downtown stores repurposed as a history museum and research center, with
indexes, original records, and knowledgeable helpers.

Alameda McCullough Research Library
1001 South Street, Lafayette
In the Frank Arganbright Genealogy Center. An extensive collection focused on Tippecanoe County.

Just a note for Oakland County Michigan researchers: the Willard Library recently purchased all the publications of the Oakland County Genealogical Society.
Thanks, GP! How did you learn this? I didn't see it on either web site, but maybe I didn't look hard enough...
