Collections
The Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center maintains extensive local history and genealogy collections. The genealogy collection supports genealogical research in Scott County, Iowa as well as other Iowa counties, the New England states, and states on the migration routes used by those who settled in this area. The Center also houses the collection of the Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society as well as the recently donated Richardson-Sloane Genealogical Library.
The local history collection includes books, maps, archive and manuscript collections, newspapers on microfilm, pamphlets, videos, and oral history tapes. The photograph collection contains more than 60,000 local images.
