Indiana Historical Radio is documented,
preserved and displayed by radio collectors and historians
Pulled together by the Indiana Historical Radio Society, 250 antique radio
enthusiasts, primarily from Indiana and surrounding states, enjoy an
avocation of seeking out, documenting, and restoring vintage radios.
The Indiana Historical Radio Society (
IHRS ) is visible through the following endeavors:
The Indiana Historic Radio Museum.
The IHRS has supported displays of
historic radio at a number of locations over the past thirty-one years.
A museum of Historic Radio is now located in a permanent building in
Ligonier, Indiana.
Radio Meets.
The IHRS meets a minimum of four times a year at different Indiana
locations. Highlights of the meetings include old radio swap meets,
display and operating radio contests, auctions, and seminars.
The Indiana Historical Radio Society Bulletin.
Members contribute articles on radio
repair and historical documentation. The IHRS has been fortunate to have
dedicated members who have consistently produced a Bulletin
for the Society.
IHRS
Membership.
You will find the Society members eager to talk about radio repair,
locating parts, radio history, and “the one that got away.” We frequently have
our nose in a radio (and may not recognize you) but grab our attention and
we become a resource in a great network of individuals dedicated to
preserving radios and radio history.
