This link says University of Iowa holds copyright the an extensive database of land records. http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/spec-coll/Bai/swierenga.htm Perhaps it is in error? donkelly ----- Original Message ----- From: Mona Knight <mknight5@ctc.net> To: IOWA@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 02:49:44 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [IOWA] Iowa Land Records, University of Iowa There was a discussion earlier on the list about land records and family files at the University of Iowa or Iowa State. I had a librarian friend check to see if we could access those records, and the librarian at the University didn't know what my friend was talking about when she asked. The Univ librarian said they don't keep family files nor land records and referred my friend to the Iowa Historical Society! My friend is a librarian, so I know she explained it clearly and even referred to the web site. No such luck I guess.
