Following is an index to Iowa photographers. This list is compiled from Iowa researchers and the orphan photos that have been submitted. Hopefully, this list may help you date a photo or determine the location of ancestors during a certain period.
You can help add to this index. Please submit photographer names and locations that appear on your Iowa family photographs to Don Kelly at Lost Family Treasures If you can provide an approximate date for your photo this will help us estimate the years the photographer was in business.
Also see the Union County Early Photographers index.
