Scope and Content
These files were prepared by the Federal Writers' Project predominantly for the Iowa guidebook, Iowa, A Guide to the Hawkeye State, in the American Guide Series. Their arrangement is roughly correspondent to their use in the book. The first series is arranged according to the subject numbers found on the original files. Some files had been given titles, others had not, and were assigned titles by the processor in the nineteen seventies. These new titles are in parentheses. This series seems to have been most important in the preparation of the first section of the Guidebook, "Iowa Past and Present." At the end of this series is a box of miscellaneous "Histories, Guides, and Articles," also prepared by the Project.
The next series is concerned with counties and county histories. These are long historical articles, prepared by the project for various groups. The files labeled "Radio Continuity" were prepared for radio broadcasts to educate the citizenry. The other files contain historical items and often lists of abandoned towns. This would indicate that these files were used for the Tour section of the guidebook.
The third series, labeled "Iowa Cities," seems to have been prepared at first for the Tour section.
The fourth series, also prepared by the Federal Writers' Project, concerning Iowa churches, does not seem to bear any relation to the Guidebook.
William Logan, November 9, 1974; revised July 20, 1974
In 1994 the University received an addendum to the collection, which was organized separately. This contains another series of city guides, as well as information on folklore, hospitals, road tours, the Univeristy of Iowa. It also contains correspondence and road tours.
