Iowa Archives

with Rick Fredericksen

IPR's award-winning project to discover, share and preserve historic audio from Iowa's past. Listening to these authentic recordings can be deeply moving; evoking laughter, tears or just plain old nostalgia. Iowa Archives segments are broadcast on Morning Edition and All Things Considered and are then posted here on the "Iowa Archives" page in descending order, by date. As we continue to research new "exhibits" of rare sound and voice recordings, listeners are urged to recommend fresh ideas for future programs. If you have any tips or recordings that we should consider, please send us an email. Thanks for your support and encouragement!
