Mission

In 1920 when the American iris Society was being founded by John Wister (its first president) and others, Wister wrote in The Flower Grower about his dream of an Iris Library. He thought it would be a traveling library so that it would be available to everyone. Little did he know that this availability would finally occur with the internet.

  

For the reference, research, and education of horticultural, scientific, and general audiences, the AIS Hager/DuBois Memorial Iris Library collects and makes available published literature, archives, and visual records pertaining to the genus Iris.
