Ball State, the Library of Congress, and the university shelves

The scholarly infrastructure. Ball State University's digital collections hold The Forts of Fort Wayne exhibit and the garrison orderly-book transcriptions against which Griswold's Gateway of the West edition was checked, and its Digital Civil Rights Museum carries the 1982 flood-era material the events leg used. The Library of Congress holds the Sanborn fire-insurance maps of Fort Wayne — 1885, 1890, 1902, 1906, 1918 and the 1919–51 run — free online; the architecture and business legs walked whole blocks in them, since a Sanborn sheet is a building census drawn to scale. Indiana University's and Purdue Fort Wayne's libraries and presses stand behind the scholarly titles listed among the books, and the Indiana Historical Society's journals — the Indiana Magazine of History above all (Seigel on the first women officeholders, 2006; the Jesse Greene editorial study, vol. 113, 2017; Robertson on the Fort Wayne agency, 1943) — are where Fort Wayne's academic record actually appears.

  1. The wars, architecture, business, government and events legs.
