This category is defined as a genealogical society, an historical society, a lineage society, or a heritage society.
The Genealogical Society of Linn County, Iowa has been working aggressively on digitizing county voter registration records and making them accessible online. When the county needed space they turned to the genealogical society, with whom they had a strong relationship, and donated the large boxes of records. We often tell people not to overlook voter records because they may contain a great deal of genealogically and historically significant data that can lead you to other sources. Birth date, place of birth, naturalization information, name and address changes, and more. Now that the index is available on their own library database for use by patrons, the voter card can be easily pulled up on the computer. However, since their database is not currently accessible on the Internet, they have worked with the administrator of the Linn County IA Genweb page in order to make it available to everyone with an Internet connection (http://iagenweb.org/linn/voter/index.htm). It has also been added to a local library web page at this page.
