The following sites complement the scope of the Iowa Women's Archives at the University of Iowa Libraries. Inspired by the vision of its founders, the Louise Noun – Mary Louise Smith Iowa Women’s Archives nourishes creative research, learning, and teaching by providing collections and a separate space dedicated to the women of Iowa and their history. The Archives fulfills its mission by collecting and making available primary sources about the history of Iowa women from all walks of life. It undertakes a robust outreach program to gather and preserve the history of groups underrepresented in archives. Through its programs and online resources, the Iowa Women’s Archives serves a broad audience ranging from students and scholars to the general public. IWA special projects highlighting women's history in Iowa include the Mujeres Latinas, Jewish Women in Iowa, and Women's Suffrage projects.
