The State Historical Society of Iowa is a division
of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and serves
as a trustee of Iowa's historical legacy and as an
advocate for understanding Iowa's past. Its dual mission
of preservation and education involves identifying,
recording, collecting, preserving, managing and providing
access to Iowa's historical resources. As an advocate
of understanding Iowa's past, SHSI educates Iowans
of all ages, conducts and stimulates research, disseminates
information, and encourages and supports historical
preservation and education efforts of others throughout
the state. The Iowa Historical Foundation is a private,
not-for-profit corporation that serves the State Historical
Society through fundraising, membership and other
events. More information about both organizations
can be found at www.iowahistory.org.
