It offers researchers, teachers, students, historians and genealogists a centralized starting point for further investigation into this significant period in Iowa&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a great example of the power of digitization. Women&#8217;s Suffrage in Iowa brings together documents scattered throughout collections in the Iowa Women&#8217;s Archives and other institutions and makes them available to a wide audience within and beyond the borders of Iowa,&#8221; said IWA curator K\u00e4ren Mason. &#8220;We hope the digital collection will entice Iowans to visit the Iowa Women&#8217;s Archives, the State Historical Society, or Iowa State.
