Professional
Researchers List
|
|
|
| The
following persons utilize the facilities of
the State Historical Society of Iowa libraries,
and engage in professional genealogical (and
to a smaller degree historical) research.
Areas of expertise follow each listing.
All
arrangements for research must be made directly
with individuals on the list. Patrons and
researchers should have a clear written agreement
in advance as to the nature of the work to
be done, whether the patron will be billed
on an hourly or an all-inclusive basis (and
at what intervals), and who will be responsible
for the researcher's expenses. Patrons should
bear in mind that researchers charge for their
time and cannot guarantee the outcome of their
research efforts.
This
list is provided to State Historical Society
of Iowa patrons. The State Historical Society
of Iowa neither endorses the researchers on
the list, nor assumes responsibility for the
researchers' availability, schedule of fees,
or research results. |
