The Iowa City Genealogical Society in Johnson County, Iowa, was founded in 1967 by a group of people interested in tracing their roots and in helping others who wanted to research family history. As the Society developed, additional broader objectives evolved to include general promotion of genealogy by preserving and disseminating historical data, acquiring genealogical references, and supporting the Iowa Genealogical Society and the State Historical Society Library in Iowa City.

Regular meetings are held on the last Saturday of each month at the LDS Library, 2730 Bradford Drive, Iowa City, Iowa. Meetings begin at 9:30 a.m. The meetings usually include a presentation on a genealogical topic of general interest.
