      to the director rules for membership of the general public in the
      state historical society, including rules relating to membership
      fees.  Members shall be persons who indicate an interest in the
      history, progress, and development of the state and who pay the
      prescribed fee.  The members of the state historical society may meet
      at least one time per year to further the understanding of the
      history of this state.  The members of the society shall not
      determine policy for the department of cultural affairs but may
      advise the director and perform functions to stimulate interest in
      the history of this state among the general public.  The society may
      perform other activities related to history which are not contrary to
      this chapter.
         2.  As used in this chapter, "state historical society" means
      the state historical society of Iowa, an agency of the state which is
      part of the department of cultural affairs.  It does not mean or
      include any private entity.
         3.  Unless designated otherwise, a gift, bequest, devise,
      endowment, or grant to or application for membership in the state
      historical society shall be presumed to be to or in the state
      historical society of Iowa.
         4.  Notwithstanding section 633.63, the board may enter into
      agreements authorizing nonprofit foundations acting solely for the
      support of the state historical society to administer its membership
      program and funds.
