TWO LOCAL LIBRARIES
Have Been Made Depositories of the
State Historical Society.

The Free Public Library of Oska-
loosa and the Library of Penn Col
lege have been designated as official
repositories for the publications of
The State Historical Society of Iowa.
Accordingly, these libraries will re.
ceive all of the publications of the
Society as issued AS official deposit
tories, thes9 libraries will acquire a
large collection of books and PAM
phlets on the history of Iowa for per-
manent preservation. Indeed, with
such recognition and encouragement
from the State Society, these librar.
les should become centers for the
collection of materials on all phases
of local history. Thus the materials
OF state and local history will be
made accessible to every citizen of
this community.
The State Historical Society of
Iowa, which is one of the oldest OF
our state institutions. was organized
In 1857 and is located at Iowa City.
II is now perhaps the leading state
society for historical research and
publication in the United States.
