Gathering the Past<\/h3>\n

Throughout Iowa history, Jewish women have played important roles in community and family life, maintaining cultural and religious traditions, working in businesses and on farms, and participating in civic life. Yet there are few documents in our archives and historical societies that record this history. The Iowa Women\u2019s Archives\u00a0seeks documents that illuminate the history of Jewish women in Iowa.<\/p>\n

The Archives is interested in material about Jewish women’s lives in Iowa, but we are also interested in their lives prior to their arrival in Iowa and what became of those who left.\u00a0\u00a0Whether you have a single photograph or boxes filled with letters, scrapbooks, or newspaper clippings, the items are welcome.\u00a0 Don’t feel you have to organize the material before you donate it; the Archives staff will handle that.<\/p>\n
