Pictured are a few examples of the public outreach activities of the IKC.
Our Special Reprint Series consists of eight publications (as of mid-1997)
of particular historical or scientific interest. In many cases, the books
or journals in which the material originally appeared are now out of print
and could not be obtained otherwise. Topics in the reprint series range
from biology, geology, archeology, paleontology, hydrology, and even a
bibliography of other scientific resources. 
The
photo at right shows the fourth reprint in the series; a cave- related
chapter from Gleanings from Nature by Blatchley. Originally published in
1899, this particular chapter provided one of the first descriptions of
the animals living in and around the caves in southern Indiana. These older
works make for very entertaining reading, reflecting a time when scientists
shared an awe and respect for their area of study; something rarely found
in current, data- driven scientific works.
The IKC also occasionally distributes posters or other informative materials to their membership for educational use. The photo at left shows some IKC- distributed posters discussing groundwater protection and cave life on display at an elementary school northeast of Indianapolis.
Other IKC- sponsored public outreach activities include:
