The compilers feel that bot purposes were fulfilled. Although this bibliography is by no meanst:ompTcT-i hts 4th wino entries. The annotations aredescriptive, rather than ev/pi native. The contents are arranged into eight seatorrs. Gonor-al---Newspapers Histories and Lists of Publications;PeriOdicals; Indiana Histories and Related Monographs County Eistorliii 'Dtreeloffek,Isetrnartacs. °and gazetteers; -and. -an Index of Authors and Subjects. Each entryis numbered consecutively, and both indexes are arranged alphabetically withcorresponding entry numbers, rather than page 'numbers. The efforts of the compilers of this bibliographycentered on Indiana and other periodicals, Indiana history -Woks, and Indiana countyand local histories. No at- tempts were made to lite/hide masterstheses or doctoral dissertations writtenabout Indiana journalism w-Ifich do exist in Indiana'scolleges and universities and those institutions of othgr states. Historical articlesappearing in newspapers. Sunday magazihes or supplements were notincluded. Obitries of journalists, which can not includ- be found in the Indiana HistoryBulletin, or the Indianb Publisher, were ed. Hopefully, these materials will heincluded in a sequel to this present effort. As the crpilers surveyed their work,it was obvious to them that a great deal of ,,,,fneaningful research had been conducted. Thecontributions of two historians, Lo- / gan Esarey and Donald F. Carmony, were ofsignificant proportions. Dr. Esarey, specifically through many newspaperarticles, had been able to place in perspec- tive the role of the press in Indianabefore the 1900s. Dr. Carmony's interest in Indi- articles that are in- ana editors, specifically,has produced a number of magazine valuable to the journalism researcher. Both menhave been associated with the His- Cottman, tory Department at IndianaUniversity. Other historians like George S. W. W. Woollen, and Herbert Bredemeier,for example, have provided regional im- portance to some of Indiana's newspapers. Yet, even with tile fine work that has beencontributed. much work remains to be done. It is surprising that Indiana, withenough newspapers to rank fifth in the in- dustry in the country and enough population torank 19th among the states, has not prodUced a single book devoted to its newspaperhistory, a fertile topic in a state with such a literary tradition. Few articles canbe found on the economics of the In- diana newspaper industry, the technicalsievelopment of the newspaper industry in Indiana, the industry's role as a social andeconomic force in the state, and the his- tory of industries related to the newspaperbusiness, e.g. photoengraving plants. pa- Of the press in per mills, printing plants.The evolving history and status of freedom Indiana deserves attention. Developmentof various news functions and coverage of events in Indiana has only beenpartially explored. Research on minority publi- cations is sorely needed, and individual, as,well as corporate, minority contribu- 3 4' tions is a fertile area still relatively untapped. Photography,in general, or as it re- lates to the newspaper industry in Indiana; high schooland college publications his- tory; and certainly newspaper history after 1900,are just a few more of the topics that need to be researched. Individual contributionsto the establishment press, above and beyond those of editors, also needto be surveyed. The development of advertising and its role in Indiana's social fabric isanother topic to consider.
