Without a doubt, Irving B. Weber’s writings from the 1970’s to the 1990’s are vitally important to the preservation of Johnson County, Iowa history. Thus, here at Our Iowa Heritage, we’ve taken the liberty to INDEX the material from Weber’s nine classic books. It’s our hope that this resource (below) – which provides topical indexing links to the contents of Weber’s books – will help historians, both today and in the future, access these valuable resources!

FYI – If you can’t find a specific item you are looking for, be sure to check under “Iowa City” – since many Iowa City-based topics have been placed under that one category.

(OIH) – these links will take you to the posts on Our Iowa Heritage website that discuss the same topic.
