ELFRIEDA LANG

 
As this issue of the IMH went to press, we received news of the death of Elfrieda Lang, at the age of 102. Lang, a Posey County native, received her BA, MA, and PhD in history from Indiana University. From 1945 through 1953, she served as assistant editor of the IMH under editor John Barnhart. During the 1940s and 1950s she also authored a number of articles in the magazine, most focusing on nineteenth-century migration to Indiana and on German Americans in the state. More recent readers of the magazine may recognize her name from the title pages of two of the IMH's three twenty-five-year indexes, which she initiated and edited. For many years after the creation of these invaluable volumes (the contents of which have since been placed online at the IMH website, www.indiana.edu/~imaghist), Lang's alphabetized boxes of index cards rested on the shelves of a succession of associate editors. She spent most of her subsequent career working for the IUB library system, including a long and productive term at the Lilly Library. Former IMH associate editor Lorna Lutes Sylvester recalls Lang as an editor and historian who "devoted her life to her career and contributed beyond measure to knowledge in her field." . . .
