Indiana State Library website, October 26, 2015 (Indiana State Library (ISL) has served the citizens of Indiana since 1825; the magnificent limestone building housing the Indiana State Library and the Indiana Historical Bureau was dedicated in 1934; By an act of 1925 the State Library and the Public Library Commission were united and placed under one director, and the State Library thus formed, together with the Historical Bureau and the Legislative Reference Bureau, placed under one board called the Indiana Library and Historical Board; By an act approved February 11, 1825, the State Library was definitely established, an appropriation made, and the secretary of state designated as librarian. In 1841 a law was approved making the library a separate institution, and in 1867 an act provided that the law section of the library be placed under the control of the judges of the Supreme Court, an arrangement still in force. By a law of 1895 the management and control of the State Library was placed in the hands of the State Board of Education, which served as a State Library Board)
