 One of the benefits of having a local institution like the University of Iowa help with flood recovery is the access we have to the curators of the museums. If these museums had to send their collections to one of the regional centers they would be much less involved in the process. We have had the luxury of being able to meet directly with the curators of the African American Museum of Iowa, the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library, and the Johnson County Historical Society throughout our recovery efforts.
