IGS is open with regular weekly hours.
There will be some changes in place for the foreseeable future. This is on a trial basis. If our local government implements new closures or restrictions, we will adjust accordingly.
* Right now the only class we have scheduled is an all-day GPS Class by Alice Hoyt Veen on July 18th with limited class size. Call the office, 515 276-0287, to schedule the class.
The IGS library is closed to the public until further notice. We WILL still have staff in the building to handle the day-to-day matters, but we just do not have enough staff or volunteers to complete the kind of rigorous, continuous cleaning and distancing necessary to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
We are also postponing all classes and interest group meetings until further notice. We will continue to communicate via our Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as this website, http://iowagenealogy.org, and will keep you updated as new information becomes available. Please take care of yourselves and stay home as much as you can!
