Historical connection
The Indiana State Library points researchers to the Health Department for original birth and death records. Its own holdings include death-record compilations and indexes covering 1882–1920.
Where this office’s responsibility stops
A certificate request is governed by Indiana eligibility, identification, and fee rules. An obituary, cemetery transcription, State Library index, or probate file can support research but is not a Health Department certificate and may report different information.
