Welcome to Encyclopedia Dubuque! With tens of thousands of articles and images, Encyclopedia Dubuque is the most comprehensive online resource to the history and culture of Dubuque, Iowa.
Our funding came from a competitive award established by The City of Dubuque to make it possible for community-based groups to participate in the city's 175th anniversary year. This project was unanimously approved as one of 10 to receive funding from the 46 grant applications received.
Encyclopedia Dubuque is continuously revised and updated by Randolph W. LYON, author of the reference book, Dubuque: The Encyclopedia, the basis of this website. Special appreciation goes to Robert Joseph REDING, former owner of Bob's Antiques and Collectibles of Dubuque; Jim Massey; and Paul HEMMER who have together contributed thousands of images from their extensive collections. Extensive research and material has been provided by Diane Harris, Joseph Jacobsmeier, Ryan Larson, and John Pregler.
The CENTER FOR DUBUQUE HISTORY at LORAS COLLEGE was an indispensable resource during the publication of the original book. In this online expansion of the original text, it continues to exceed all expectations.
Encyclopedia Dubuque is very proud to display many sketches by acclaimed local artist, Norman ZEPESKI.
Now Featuring: Family History
The research and writing would mean little if the website did not have expert attention from staff at the Carnegie-Stout Public Library. For this our sincere appreciation goes to Jason M. Burds, Andrew Fuerste-Henry, and Michael May.
