The wide range of topics is reflected in this collection, which includes family photographs, images of the mill industries and other local businesses, a portrait series of past mayors, and class pictures from Coralville schools. Also included are images of community groups, road construction, destruction from fires and floods, and local holiday celebrations.<br /><br />Descriptions for each image were written by Rachel Black and Wendy Stevenson using information from the donors and the primary sources listed below. If users of this database have additional information about the images or notice discrepancies, they are encouraged to reach out to the Coralvillle Digital History Library.<br /><br />A special thank you to Timothy Walch, Allison Ames Galstad, Ellen Hampe Alexander, Rex Brandstatter, Wendy Stevenson, and all of our donors. <br /><br /><strong>This collection currently contains 297 items.</strong> To access all items in this collection, please click <strong><a href="https://coralvilledigitalhistory.omeka.net/collections/show/1" target="_blank" title="Images of America" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></strong>.<i></i>

Two unidentified girls smile for a photograph while dressed in Girl Scouts uniforms. The white five on the patch on the upper sleeve of the uniform suggests these girls were a part of Girl Scouts Troop #55, which was the troop that started raising funds for a Coralville library in 1964 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 70).
