The goal of Iowa History Journal is to keep alive the memories of Iowa’s heritage in a manner that is both educational and entertaining. We want readers to take an active part in the publication. We will encourage letters to the editor from readers, and ideas for stories and photographs.

We will print six issues a year (in the months of January, March, May, August, October, and December) skipping June and July. Since we believe it will be a tremendous educational tool, for the first year all ten issues will be sent free to the library of every high school, junior high and college in the state. We want young readers to have a chance to read the issue and learn something new and exciting about their state. They can take the Iowa History Quiz each issue to see how much they really know about Iowa.

We hope you will enthusiastically embrace Iowa History Journal and tell others about it, and subscribe. It will make a superb gift to a family members or friends who have moved out of state and want to retain their Iowa ties in small measure. It will be a great gift for any friend or relative who lives in the state.

We hope all Iowans will embrace Iowa History Journal and welcome it into their schools, offices and homes. We will try our best to make it a valuable part of your life and provide some delightful breaks from the stress-packed world we live in.
