This collection is a compendium of newspapers published in various cities and towns in the state of Iowa from 1837 until 2009. Newspapers are an important resource for genealogy and family history research as they contain obituaries and other vital record substitutes such as birth, marriage, and death notices. Additionally, society pages and stories of local interest contain rich information on activities and events in the community and often provide details about the persons involved. Before vital records were recorded by city, county, or state governments, local newspapers often published articles listing or detailing these events. Obituaries contain vital and biographical information on the decedent but also on his or her family and relatives. Society pages began as a way to entice readers with gossip and news about the wealthy and famous but soon evolved to cover the goings-on of “average” citizens. An incredible array of information can be discovered in these society pages or sections from seemingly mundane notices and reports on events such as parties, job changes, hospital stays, and social visits by friends or relatives. These pages are a source of historical events that are unlikely to exist in any other record. Coverage and completeness in this collection varies by title.

Jay BerwangerDubuque, Iowa

John Jacob "Jay" Berwanger (1914-2002) was an American collegiate football player and decathlete from Dubuque, Iowa. In 1935, playing for Chicago University, Berwanger was the first recipient of the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy which was renamed the Heisman Trophy the following year. He choose to forgo his path to the NFL so he could remain eligible as an amateur to compete for a spot on the 1936 U.S. Olympic team in the decathlon.
