Special Projects

The Pearl Street Research Center maintains special projects in which the community can be involved. The Oral History Project volunteers interview local people to obtain information about Sioux City’s history. The George Newman Negative Identification project depends on volunteers to help to identify over 11,000 photographic images taken by the Sioux City Journal Photographer, George Newman in the 1940s and 1950s. The staff at the Research Center prepares and gives talks to community groups about Sioux City history and the work being done at the Research Center. 
Volunteers are always needed for these and other projects at the Research Center. Please contact the staff for more information.

George Newman, Sioux City Journal photographer took this photo (above) of the Grandview Park
