Tutorial and Resources

First publication

Iowa History and Culture: A Bibliography of Materials Published Between 1952 and 1986 was published in 1989.  This print resource has been used extensively by librarians, scholars, teachers, researchers, businesses and the general public.  Iowa History and Culture made Iowa historical, social, economic and cultural resources accessible.

 

Since it’s publication, a tremendous amount of new material has been created and new historical data has been discovered.  We can now make an update to the 1986 publication much more useful and accessible through online distribution.  This project undertakes that update, creating a comprehensive index and guide to Iowa subject material published since 1986.
