Indiana Academy Of The Social Sciences: The First 85 Years, Kathleen Tobin
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
This paper looks at the history of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences (IASS) and the organization’s contributions to the field. Through a careful examination of documents, newsletters, minutes, and correspondence, a rich account unfolds, demonstrating unceasing commitment to advancing research in multiple disciplines. The IASS built bridges between and among colleges and universities across the state, as well as with state institutions, professional associations, libraries, and high schools. For 85 years, it has promoted camaraderie and respect and has succeeded in fostering support for all of the social sciences.
