German American Heritage Center

The German American Heritage Center in Davenport, Iowa, will purchase archival boxes, storage cabinets, and environmental monitoring equipment for a 29-volume set of original, locally published German-language newspapers from the 1870s through 1915. The newspapers contain an anthology of information on German American immigrant life, business, culture, births and deaths, and political and social issues of the time important for understanding the German American perspective in this community.
