Indiana History Society Cuts Deep | Indianapolis News
Description
Eleven staff members just lost their jobs at the Indiana Historical Society after the governor ended their state lease — and the iconic National History Day competition, running for nearly 50 years, is being canceled. The cuts hit the education team at a brutal time for museums, as educators scramble for resources ahead of the school year. The society claims the changes are part of a future-focused overhaul, promising no major disruptions to exhibits or events — even as they now shoulder full responsibility for the land they’ve owned since 1999. With state maintenance funding pulled, the national organization is scrambling to find a new Indiana home and sponsor for the program’s return.
