Contribute Ideas

The editorial staff welcomes suggestions for new entries. To be included in the EOI, suggestions must fit within EOI’s criteria for inclusion:   

  • Organizations and businesses must have a substantial connection to Indianapolis and have made a significant impact on its culture.   
  • Structures and places must have played a significant role in the city’s development, influenced its culture, or have been a site where a significant change of policy or practice occurred.  
  • Events must have significantly impacted the city’s culture, fit into the context of a larger initiative, or have impacted changes in policy or practice. 
  • People must have a significant connection and/or have made a measurable impact on the city or to the region. Impact can be defined in various ways, including reputational impact, but mere presence in the city generally will not suffice to sustain a claim of significance.  

Topic recommendations should include a brief summary explaining the subject and its significance to the history of Indianapolis.
