URL: http://history.ky.gov/

Collection: Open Folklore Web Archive

Description: The Kentucky Historical Society was formed in 1836 with the goal of preserving the history of the commonwealth. In 1838, it was chartered as the state society and began to collect items reflecting Kentucky’s history including printed materials and books. By the early 1950s, the Kentucky Historical Society became an agency of the Kentucky state government. The mission of the Kentucky Historical Society is to engage people in the exploration of the commonwealth’s heritage. The Society looks to accomplish this through educational programs, the continuation of their museum, and the preservation of items of Kentucky history.
