Consisting of a collection of pictures, articles, and clippings, the Doctors of Iowa County scrapbook provides a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in the area’s chiropractors, dentists, veterinarians, or medical doctors. From the dozens of other scrapbooks available within the Iowa County Historical Society’s holdings, this particular scrapbook has been selected as the featured item of interest for its exceptional usefulness in fulfilling requests for information that may not be easily fulfilled by other means.

Other scrapbooks available to visitors in the archives encompass subjects such as the Iowa County Home and Asylum, churches, judges, lawyers, organizations, parks, and trains. When the society was first organized in 1976, members collected articles and similar media in scrapbooks as a practical and inexpensive way to preserve them. Once the extra space of a new museum building was made available in 1985, this collection was expanded. A current work-in-progress is the computer archiving of obituaries, family histories, and local area histories as well as photos.

The Iowa County Historical Society is presently guided by a 9-person Board of Directors and a Museum Curator with the mission to preserve the history of people and places of Iowa County and create a memory thereof in the collection and computer archives.
