I have many, many Iowa telephone directories - from all over the state that I would like to give to an appropriate place - rather than recycling them at this time. The majority of these directories are 1995 up to 2003, and there are several from 1990 - 1995 and some from the 1980's. All are in good condition with covers intact, and very little or no markings inside. I had acquired them for my own use to do 'look-ups' of names and addresses of living descendants of my Iowa ancestral families. Most older telephone books also contained two or three pages of local historical information and/or area attractions - many times including a paragraph about notable buildings, schools and churches and sometimes even cemeteries. Much of this information is now available on various internet sites, but I would think serious genealogical searchers might still find these five, ten and fifteen year old books to be a useful resource. Any ideas or suggestions other than recycling? Clara in NE
