  • A Case Study of the Henry County Historical Society, 1887-1950
    THE MAKING OF A HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN HENRY COUNTY, INDIANA: A CASE STUDY OF THE HENRY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY, 1887-1950 Benjamin Joseph Badgley Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University August 2017 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee _________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ________________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. ________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements As I entered the Public History Graduate Program at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, I was given a valuable piece of advice from Dr. Philip V. Scarpino that helped guide me through the selection of a thesis topic: “Choose a topic meaningful to you, which can be supported with an abundance of primary source material.” A case study on the Henry County Historical Society served me well in both regards. As a native of Henry County, Indiana, my association and appreciation for the Henry County Historical Society dates back many years. The organization’s rich history inspired me to learn more about not only the historical society movement in Indiana but also the movement at the national and regional levels as well. Few organizational histories exist for local historical societies in Indiana. I was motivated to tell the story and document the significant history of an institution with a past intermingled with my own. I am indebted to many special individuals who provided support and guidance through the process of researching and writing this thesis.
