The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) engages people in the exploration of the Commonwealth's diverse heritage. Through comprehensive and innovative services, interpretive programs, and stewardship, it provides connections to the past, perspective on the present, and inspiration for the future.
The Kentucky Historical Society's statutory mandate, pursuant to KRS 171.311, is to collect and preserve for future generations materials and information regarding Kentucky's past; to disseminate knowledge and understanding of the state's history; and to produce for people of all backgrounds an increased awareness of, and appreciation for, the Commonwealth and its heritage. The agency operates four divisions: Administration, Research and Publications, Museums, and Oral History and Educational Outreach.
