The IMA Archives Exhibition Records document the planning and execution of exhibitions created by and/or held at the Art Association of Indianapolis, the John Herron Art Institute, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art starting in 1883 and continuing through the present day. This collection is ongoing, as the Indianapolis Museum of Art continues to create new exhibition records each year. Individual exhibition files may include checklists, exhibition catalogs, installation photography, correspondence, press clippings, curatorial research files, shipping, receiving, and lending records, and other documentation. A file and listing have been created for every exhibition, regardless of whether any archival material survives. File listings with "[empty]" indicate that there is no archival material available for the exhibition. Many early exhibitions do not have any surviving archival documentation. This is an ongoing project to process these exhibition records, starting with the earliest records.

The Lilly House Records, 1967-2005, contains records regarding the Lilly House, primarily since its donation to the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 1967. A large portion of the collection consists of the file folders of paper documents. While there is a Photos and Media series, photos are also located in other series where they are relevant. The collection is comprised of records produced and collected by staff. It documents the history of the Lilly House. Many of the files were originally in binders and were kept in their original order. Researchers will find information regarding the families who lived there, the architects, building/restoration documents of value. More information regarding the Lilly House, the families that have lived there, and the architects who constructed it, can be found in the Bradley Brooks Collection (HIS 002).
