How We Do History

How We Do History

In our initial podcast series, we take you behind the scenes of the Indiana Historical Society. From exhibits to visitor experience, and from local history services to the Basile History Market, this series will give you inside information about how the IHS works, and the amazing people who help bring history to life.

Episodes

Episode 5: Reference Services

Speaker(s): Amy Vedra Director, Reference Services, Regan Steimel Reference Librarian, Mikayla Knight-Kinley Assistant Reference Librarian

You may be a frequent visitor of your local public library, but have you ever been to a research library? Join me as I sit down with the reference services team to discuss the differences between a public and research library, and how our library fits in here at the Indiana Historical Society.

Episode 4: Local History Services

Speaker(s): Tamara Hemmerlein Director, Local History Services, Jeannette Rooney Assistant Director, Local History Services, Karen DePauw Manager, Local History Services

We Do History, but we also help your local institutions do history. Learn about all the duties that fall to a field services team at the Indiana Historical Societies and the wide variety of help they can provide.

Episode 3: History Market

Speaker(s): Becke Bolinger Manager, Resale and Wholesale Operations

“We all love a museum store, picking up a book or keychain to commemorate a visit is all part of the fun. But who chooses which products are for sale and what books get ordered? Learn what goes into managing the only Independent Bookstore in downtown Indianapolis.”

Episode 2: Exhibit Research

Speaker(s): Daniel Gonzales Director, Exhibition Curation, Zachariah Heider Assistant Exhibit Designer, Zoe Vorndran Exhibitions Department Researcher

“Maybe the most well-known part of a museum is its exhibits! Listen as I dive into what it takes to develop an exhibit. Including research, interactives, and interpreters.”

Episode 1: Visitor Experience

Speaker(s): Natalie Palmer Senior Director, Visitor Experience and Operations and Anna Wieseman Coordinator, Visitor Experience and Group Tours

“Visitor Experience sounds simple right? Wrong, it involves many moving parts so that your experience can be the absolute best! Join us to explore these parts and learn more about how you can do history too!”
