Iowa Polio Stories Oral History Project.

Hide Profile

The State Library of Iowa hired Kate Scott to coordinate an oral history project to document the history and impact of polio in Iowa. Interviewees represented counties across Iowa and ranged in age from 55 to 96 and included medical personnel, family members and friends of the afflicted, and polio survivors. The project was carried out in conjunction with the State Library's Center for the Book All Iowa Reads selection for 2007, The Splendid Solution by Jeffrey Kluger.
