Hi Judy, I think you want: Library & Archives State Historical Society of Iowa 600 East Locust, Capitol Complex Des Moines, Iowa 50319 Phone 515-281-6200 Their website is _http://infohawk.uiowa.edu/ALEPH/-/start/iow06_ (http://infohawk.uiowa.edu/ALEPH/-/start/iow06) I contacted them over a year ago and was told they do not do research for out of state researchers. They did provide a list of people who would do this for me but you should get updated information. Good Luck! patundrwd@aol.com
