Fifty years ago, a pair of young Indiana University Northwest history professors watched the beginning of an exodus from Gary and became determined to preserve the city’s history from being lost.
The efforts by the late Ron Cohen and James Lane evolved into the Calumet Regional Archives, a unique history of hundreds of collections documenting Northwest Indiana’s past. On Thursday, IU officials and supporters celebrated the archives’ 50th anniversary with a fresh outreach pledge to share its stories so the archives can live outside its walls.
Issues of Steel Shavings, a publication about the region created by Calumet Regional Archives cofounder James Lane, are stacked on a table at a celebration of the organization's 50th anniversary on Thursday, October 12, 2023. His defeat set up another opportunity. Cohen and Lane asked then-IUN Chancellor Danilo Orescanin to ask Madden if he would donate his congressional papers to the archives.
