The Center for Earth and Environmental Science is a research center that works to make dramatic contributions to environmental science within the State of Indiana, the Midwest, and beyond. In 1996 IUPUI began a collaboration with the Center for Earth and Environmental Science (CEES) and the IUPUI Department of Geology to produce and convert spatially-referenced data sets and maintain an archive of GIS data. This cooperative agreement between CEES and the IUPUI University Library increases the availability of a wide variety of spatial information and provides exciting opportunities in the use of GIS for students and the local community. A grant from the Library Fund of the Indianapolis Foundation provided the ability to create the Electronic Atlas of Central Indiana.
The Park Tudor School Legacy Initiative, founded in 2001, connects talented high school students with families and war veterans across the United States in order to preserve documents and oral histories. The Initiative collects copies of unpublished wartime accounts, letters, diaries and photographs; conducts oral history interviews for the Library of Congress' Veterans History Project, and publishes volumes in its anthology series: Words of War: Wartime Memories. Since 2002, more than 480 oral-history interviews with veterans and civilians and corresponding transcripts have been completed.
The Columbus Indiana Architectural Archives was created to collect, conserve, preserve, and promote the use of records that document the architecture, engineering, and arts associated with the built environment of Columbus, Indiana and Bartholomew County. The archives’ collection includes materials on both Historical and Modernist projects, including many of the 60 plus designs by world famous architects of the last half century that are located in Bartholomew County.
The digital collection presented here showcases the planning and execution of 5 Bartholomew County building projects: Columbus Regional Hospital, Central Middle School, Mill Race Park, BCSC Administration Building, and Columbus Learning Center. The story of how these projects progressed from initial sketches through construction is told in these digitized sketches, photographs, blueprints and various planning and construction documents.
The Indiana Historical Bureau evolved from the Indiana Historical Commission, which was established in 1915. This organization offers publications and programs relevant to the history of Indiana and provides ample opportunities to educate the public about Indiana's relations with the rest of the nation and the world. The Indiana Supreme Court has collaborated with the Indiana Historical Bureau on the Road to Indiana Statehood project. Together, with University Library, these organizations have worked to make original materials relating to Indiana's constitutional history available online.
The Indiana Medical History Museum is located in the "Old Pathology Building", found on the grounds of the former Central State Hospital in Indianapolis.

The museum represents the beginning of scientific psychiatry and modern medicine in Indiana. University Library collaborated with this cultural institution to make Dr. William Niles Wishard's Scrapbook available in digital format.
