Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society: Leaving your Legacy: Plans for your Genealogy Research and Collections Online

Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society and the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center of the Davenport Public Library invite you to their monthly meeting.

Join us for December's presentation to learn where genealogists can donate their research and collections to preserve their family history. We will provide an overview of historical and cultural institutions and organizations that may be interested in genealogical materials and how to contact them. We will help you answer the question: "What do you do with the stuff you do not want grandkids to throw away?"

This program is scheduled to be held in person and virtually. 

This program is suitable for adults and teens.

Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society, SCIGS, was organized in 1976 for literary and educational purposes as a nonprofit corporation with activities devoted to pursuits designed to further the following objectives:

  • The creation and fostering of interest in genealogy and family history.
  • The gathering, preservation, and use of records relative to the ancestors, founders, and early settlers of our county.
  • The giving of aid and instruction to individuals in their genealogical research and in the compilation of their family histories.
  • The establishment and maintenance of a depository of genealogical information and materials.

This program is offered in partnership with the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center of the Davenport Public Library.
