The Iowa History Research Centers are open Wednesday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. While the Research Centers do not require a scheduled appointment, scheduling an appointment in advance of your visit is highly recommended if you plan on accessing the State Archives and Special Collections materials. Please use our online form to book an appointment. Please fill out and submit the information and one of our staff members will contact you to confirm and coordinate details related to your appointment. Requesting an appointment does not guarantee an appointment. Your appointment is confirmed once a staff member has contacted, coordinated and confirmed with you.
