Local History and Archives

Our Grinnell Local History Resources page links to obituaries, property research materials, oral histories, the digital archive repository,

and the Poweshiek History Preservation Project. This page also includes links to materials in our archives and local history collection.

These include listings of local authors and family collections.

The library is excited to provide online searching for area newspapers that are in the public domain (anything before 1925). We will add additional years as they move into the public domain or when we can otherwise gain copyright permission to do so.
