Welcome to the USGenWeb Archives Project for Iowa!

The USGenWeb Digital Library for Iowa was developed to provide free on line data for genealogical research. These archives are dependent on volunteers, people just like you, to donate their time by transcribing public domain records or other non-copyrighted primary sources. If you have Iowa data you'd like to contribute,  please check out this site for helpful information: Contribute. 

If you need help or would like to submit information, please contact The File Manager, or use the forms at http://www.genrecords.net/iafiles/

Please note that the USGenWeb Archives for Iowa is in no way affiliated with the Iowa State Archives in Des Moines.

Note for AOL users: If you are using the internal AOL web browser, you may at times be unable to access these files due to high traffic. You can also access them by FTP. To do so go to keyword FTP, hit the go to FTP button, click the Other Site button and enter files.usgwarchives.net/ia and make sure that the 'ask for login and password' box is NOT checked. You can then browse the directories which are organized by county.
