  • 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.

  • Public Disclosure for Tax-Exempt Organizations
    Public Disclosure for Tax-Exempt Organizations Tax-exempt organizations are required to make a copy of their application for exemption and Form(s) 990 (and 990-T, if applicable) available for public inspection and to provide copies of such forms to individuals or organizations that request copies. Alternatively, the Internet may be used to make these documents available. (See the “Using the Internet” section which follows.) These rules apply to an organization’s Form(s) 990 (and 990-T, if applicable) for the last three years and to its application for exemption.1 If the application was filed prior to July 15, 1987, disclosure is not required unless the organization had a copy of the application on July 15, 1987. An organization may omit names and addresses of contributors from its return(s). Failure to comply with disclosure requirements can result in an enforcement action by the IRS. While disclosure rules create an additional burden, they also provide an opportunity for your organization to showcase the community benefits that it provides. The rules also heighten the need to carefully review all responses, including narrative explanations, contained on your Form(s) 990/990-T before filing. Where Must Information Be Provided? Generally, an organization must make its documents available for public inspection at any location where it has three or more employees. If the only services provided at the site are in furtherance of exempt purposes and the site does not serve as an office for management staff, the documents are not required to be made available there. How Quickly Must Organizations Reply? Requests for copies can be made in person or in writing.
