Finding Aids & Library Resources

Archival Finding Aids. Finding aids provide detailed information about whole collections, including biographical and historical notes, collection scope and content, topics represented, container lists, and item inventories. Consult finding aids to discover context for collection items featured in the KHS Digital Collections, or to plan a visit to the Kentucky Historical Society Special Collections Research Room.

In addition to the library's outstanding collection of published state and local resources, collections include unpublished files that have been compiled over the past century. The digital collections include folder titles for the library's historic architecture, biography, church, general subject, Kentucky subject, and surname files and other unpublished resources.
