The Hoosier State has produced its share of well-known authors, including Theodore Dreiser, Booth Tarkington, and James Whitcomb Riley. This remarkable project from Indiana University digitized the three-volume reference work, "Indiana Authors and Their Books," which covers the years from 1816 to 1980 and contains approximately 7,000 author entries. The project was made possible via funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and visitors can make their way through the finished effort here. Visitors may browse by Authors, Books, or Years, or search for a particular term. Regardless of where one starts their exploration within this troika, they will end up spending more time here than originally planned.
