Over the past century, many towns, organizations, and churches in Iowa have gathered recipes from members and published them, essentially preserving and documenting the culinary heritage of this state.  These cookbooks often contain family recipes, ethnic dishes, and history about the organization or area.  The Iowa State University Library is working to preserve these wells of social history for use in understanding Iowa culture.
