Manuscripts
include unpublished diaries, family papers, correspondence,
church minutes, business records, memoirs, literary papers,
theses, land grants, court records. Our historical documents
of famous and everyday people date back to the 1700s. Materials
describe local, national, and international events and reveal
details about day-to-day life in 19th and 20th century Kentucky
and around the world.
Researchers interested in transportation, politics, religion,
and wars must visit this collection. Politicians, Kentucky
authors, and families have chosen the Kentucky Library and
Museum to care for their legacy. For a sampling of the types
